Ok, so I went to the dyno hoping for about 220 RWHP. As it turns out my bicycle has more power! :cry: Here’s the cold hard facts…
132 RWHP corrected (107 RWHP uncorrected)
I'm thinking something's not reading right...
885 ft. lbs. GROUND torque (not flywheel) in 2nd gear
Here’s the build: Original 340 6 Pack (rebuilt at 60k has 40k on it) 10.3:1 TRW compression, w/chrome moly rings; 68cc chambers; headers (34” x 1 5/8th x 3”); gasket matched ports; shot peened, magnafluxed, sized & side polished rods; flat, back cut, 5 angled 2.02" narrow stem intake valves, bronze guides;
Comp Cams HE268 cam (.218º @ .050, .456” lift), stress relieved T/A block .030 over; PTC 4,000 stall torque converter (
www.ptcrace.com) out through a 3.55 Sure Grip. All this at 6,000’ elevation.
They wanted me (in the tan jacket) to run in 2nd gear and start the test above my converter lock up (3,800 rpm).
Here’s a small movie (800kb) on the dyno
The dyno pull.Naturally, I was feeling pretty down, so in a desperate attempt to redeem myself in front of my Mopar brethren
here’s what 132 hp can do. Notice the shift into 2nd!
