Desktop Dyno Woes

Heres an link to a site with all kinds of cam, and cylinder head files for you to use. The Unofficial DD2000 File Page

Extract the stock SBC 186 file from the head flow ZIP file and use it. See if your numbers change any.

I've found destop dyno is fairly accurate if you enter everything accurately and make sure you enter the header size properly. You would be surprised how much power ( peak power ) is effected by smaller headers with muffler. Run it again with mufflers and see.

I ran the Dyno test again with the head and cam files from the unofficial dyno2000 page(an enormous help, thankyou) and the max hp came in at 360 and the max torque at 400ft lbs. This seems more realistic. Thanks guys for the input....you can't put a price on knowledge!
