gee thanks Tony I think I will pull it to 9000 to see were it falls on its face and set my boat up to run that high ... :D
no its a joke.. my reason for the dyno is to jet it and see were the best hp and rpm range is so I can set the pump and boat up to run it.. I really dont care what #'s it makes as long as it makes more than the old engine in the righ spot... :idea:

[disco_charger]

Cool. Nice to see you sprucin up the old Bies! I'm curious to hear how well that hull rides going nice and fast.

well I had no choice as everything was junk in the boat I have around $20,000 invested into her now..... I had it running 70 with the old stock HURT engine with 2 adults and a 2 kids so it will be a little faster now.

[Bottle Fed]

Good luck sean. Will you be showing up at pheonix next weeknd?

[Nucking futs]

Wow, It was a blast watching the dyno pulls. Made real IMPRESSIVE #'s for what it is and they were right were it should be. should speed up the boat alittle...:D Can't wait to get mine done now.

[BrendellaJet]

So what did it make?

[Nucking futs]

So what did it make?
Its my brothers, so I can't say but it was stout!!!!!
If he feels the need to tell then he will but its just Dyno #'s anyway. Just with carb tuning and jets it picked up 30 hp I can tell you that.
I don't want to rain on his parade so Im all done..

[BrendellaJet]

I here ya. Hopefully he posts. After all, its just dyno #'s, so whats the big deal?:idea: :D

[FOURQ]

WOW is right it was a blast. I have never been so happy and scared at the same time. it made real impressive #'s. I am happy with the tune up and the #'s to say the least. I have to thank my brother for all his help and input and keeping me on track so I didn't wonder all over the place with this build like I tend to do. as far as posting #'s sure its 710 HP @ 6100 its right were I wanted it to be.here is a video of the last pull we did.

(may take a little bit to come up)
also like to thank Allen at BEP for the dyno and tune and cant forget
Mad Dog Morgan for helping with the assembly......

[BrendellaJet]

FOURQ that was badass. Congrats on the build.
Its too bad you cant hear it well when he burries the throttle. When I dyno'd my motor I did it outside of the cell so I could here the sound better.
Would love to pull up next to you and have a run at it.

[Nucking futs]

Umm, You might want to thank Chris straub for his cam and all his input as well !!!!!

[dmontzsta]

Congrats dude...Are you going to Parker?

[bordsmnj]

Nice!:D i hope to be on that same dyno before too long.

[Nucking futs]

That was the first pull. The sound should be better on the last pull but he posted the wrong one. that pull was 682hp at 6100 with a little stumble getting into the secondaries. Lets not forget the trq, 624 @ 5100 was peak. all in all not bad for a 10/1 pump gas engine with twin 600's on it.
Q's on his way home to havizoo so it will be tomorrow before the good pull gets posted.
can't wait for mine.....

[Wicked Performance Boats]

Glad to see it coming together. Can't wait to see it on the river. Great job 4Q Pat

[cstraub]

Shaun,
The peak numbers look good, I can't wait to see the power curve on her. I hope you feel the results were worth all work. It's not the amount of money spent that makes power, its the amount of thought in spending the money to make power.

[460 jus getn it]

Hell yea, great numbers. Congrats

Allen? Ain't he that short skinny ****er that don't know shit about engines?:D
Just joshin'. ;) He knows his stuff for sure
Congrats on the build and numbers:D

[FOURQ]

just for all that are wondering what is in it.. its a 496 with all forged internals by eagle 4.25 lightened crank 6.385 H beam rods with L-19 bolts, JE 4.310 forged pistons 10.2-1 compression. AFR 325 heads stock as cast 2.30 intakes and 1.88 exhaust valves.
Cam is a custom one designed by Chris Straub of Straub technology
(cstraub69 on the boards) all I will say about the cam is its 689 lift. I have morell solid roller lifters and crain rockers. Victor tr-2 tunnel ram with 2 600's
so all in all its a 496 that makes 710 hp @ 6100 and 662.3 ft/tq @5100 all on 91 octane pump gas

Yes he is. You didn't happen to notice a red pro stock camaro being built in the shop did you?

Impressive! Very very similar to my motor.. and looking at my numbers with yours both are very close...

Yes, DNE built mine. Do not know how much I have invested, but I can come close when guessing. One big difference in our motors though is mine is now 5 years old... :) Still runs strong!
Are you going to make it out next weekend?

Oh!
Yeah, that stuff could set you back some in time... Well, good luck on getting it all done. Post pics of the progress!

Im so jealous :D Killer numbers brotha. Chris is tha man when it comes to cams. He knows his shiznit for damn sure! Notice how smooth the power curve is:idea:
How and the hell are you getting 100psi of oil pressure? What pump? What mods?

If your talking about these numbers below, those are from my motor which sounds like its pretty close to FOURQ's. I just put them up here to compare - not trying to start anything. The cam I had in this motor is a little smaller then FOURQ's. It was a CompCam with .680 lift. I have a different cam in it now.

Just watched the video and it totally reminded me of when my motor was on the dyno. Something is so strange about seeing/hearing a motor run like that and it is sitting still. So what was the highest RPM you guys ran it up to?
HBjet

[Nucking futs]

6500

[CARLSON-JET]

Just a question here.. Is it common practice to just shut the motor off after a pull as shown in the video?
Congrats FOURQ, It will be interesting to see what it does out on the water.

Fill the hole in the back for the pump and shave the V off the bottom, drill a hole for the prop shaft and rock on!:D

Naw, we dont want that, then it would end up at its final destination, on the trailer,....like yours!
Sorry dude! the water was way to warm and inviting right there!

Hey, I do believe we are in the same boat right now. :)

[FOURQ]

Hey, I do believe we are in the same boat right now. :)
ya you may be but his is brand new not 20 years old so he has an excuse :devil: and his will be done before yours I bet..
hows it coming Todd?
I got the rail kit done for now and got the engine in today. I am going to finish the little fab work and wiring tomorrow then its time to set the pump up and install it...

Congrats on a killer looking and sounding engine with numbers to back it up... can't wait to hear what it does in your boat, too cool!!
