Wednesday night myself and MikeF put my motor together and dropped it into the boat so that i could haul it over to Westech Performance Group for a dyno session.

Steve runs the dyno and is as smart as they come when it comes to making power.
mikef also came along for the ride to the dyno and helped immmensely with getting my motor together and wrenching on it at Westech. thanks man!

The dyno session went extremely well and my 502cid crate short block with 9:1 CR, AFR 315CNC heads, Comp mechanical roller cam, Edelbrock VR. JR manifold and Holley 950HP carb made 741hp@6,100 rpm and 660 lbs/ft torque at 5,200 rpm. Not too shabby for a low compression, single carb'd motor!
