RESULTS... MAXIMVS 528 Dyno Numbers

Here's the story. Got up at the crack of damn and loaded up the bullet for the trip to Total Engine Concepts (TEC) in West Palm Beach Florida. This place is awesome, truly a racers shop as is Treasure Coast Auto Machine (TCAM) in Stuart, Florida.

Before I get started, I have to tell you guys this. I used two 800 cfm Edelbrock crabs modified by Fugly (Damon Kuhn) and sold by Diamondback Engines. I came with all the AFB tuning stuff I had and did not have to use it. These things were PERFECT out of the box. I mean PERFECT. The guy running the dyno and Mike from TCAM were shocked at how well these carbs were dialed in. I think we have a few high profile AFB converts now. To repeat, I did not have to do ANY tuning to these carbs and the HP and TQ curves speak for themselves.

Up until now, I had always built my own engines but decided to use TCAM as I was tied up with getting a business off the ground. It was a good ove and I highly recommend them. MIke Rion owns TCAM and gets personally involved with his clients. We had some issues with a set of Cometic head gaskets and he took care of it and we had a successful dyno session today. I plan on using TCAM for a potential hemi build in the not too distant future and that says a lot from me.

Anyway, we got there and Mike & Mike of TEC started the 528 hookup to the DTS4000 dyno. This dyno is the tits but is notoriously stingy. Anyway here are some pics of the setup:

This SCREAMS when it hits its stride. The videos do small justice, you needed to be in there to feel this dude rattle the windows when it hits full song. I am a happy camper and with some more tuning this thing will really deliver.
 
Thanks guys, been a long time coming. The numbers are good for a Chrysler NSS class RB. I wish we had a better intake manifold selection than just the Indy piece. I might throw these carbs on top of a big tunnel ram at the track and see what happens with that. The eddy MW victor heads are close to maxed out, the CR is a little low at 12.75:1 and the ISKY solid roller cam is not a max piece either; healthy but still EZ on the valvetrain. BUT, it makes enough power to get me in A/NSS with some margin and that was the goal.

We did no tuning other than moving the timing around some, looks like 38-39* is about right. There is probably an EZ 50 HP and 30+ ft lbs TQ still on the table with some more tuning. All in all, Ithink it's a good motor and will serve me well. If any guys are looking for a Florida Mopar friendly shop that cares about its work, I recommend Treasure Coast Auto Machine (TCAM) (772) 287-4013 ask for Mike and tell him I sent you, I'll be flying their colors on my quarters from here on out.

Thanks for the congrats guys, much appreciated.
 
oops...I took a good look at your graph and saw you pushed it to 7000...I don't know why I thought you were done by 6200.
