Wow, I have to say that watching my motor get dynoed was probably the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
Before I tell you about the power though- I think a huge thanks to Dave Ebbert is in order. This project has taken 3 years, and Dave was always willing to take my call & answer my questions. He knew I had a budget and he helped me out by finding deals on the block & rods and bro'd me out on some other stuff I'm sure(hint!). This man can build a motor.
Also a special thanks goes out to Steve Brule of Westech for putting this motor through its paces. I was there for 8 or 10 pulls and he wrung it out every time-and it never skipped a beat. When I got there they fired it up and when he let her rip I was dumbfounded at how badass it sounded.
The results:
Peak power:825 hp @ 6800
Peak Torque708lb/ft @5300
The best part is that it makes 800 @ 6100 so there isn't much to gain by spinning it 700 more rpm.

They do. They know their chit too. I think we were all a little bummed when it wouldn't break 820. No matter what they did for 3 or 4 pulls it kept pulling 816. Pulled a quart of oil out of it and bingo! 825.
The boat is skinny. I dont realize it because its the only boat ive really had anything to do with in the last 4 years. Im sure I'll eventually make the move to somthing a little bigger, but for now Im gonna see what this thing is made of!

Note to self. Qt oil is worth 9 Hp. So...2 qts is 18 hp. and 3 is...

Chevrolet 548. Compression is pump gas friendly, but would be considered pushing the limits by some(Lets say 10.5:1 for conversation sake). Heads are Canfield CNC 330's with crane cams shaft rockers. Edelbrock Victor Junior ported at Wilson Manifolds. Holley HP 950, Basset Headers, MSD Digital 6 plus ignition & pro billet distributor. Solid roller with .700 lift, Olsen pan. Going with Pete Jackson noisy gear drive because I love the sound.
