Well, my new motor is finished and she was put through the paces today at Westech Performance. You know, that dyno that all the non believers think gives bogas numbers!
Well, I don't have the print outs yet because they are on disc at my engine builders, but I will have them tomorrow when I go to drop the motor in the boat. Here are a few numbers that stuck in my head though.
Disclaimer: The numbers I'm about to post are off the top of my head. I will back them up or correct them tomorrow when I get all of the print outs.
Now that's out of the way!
6300rpm it made 732hp
5500rpm it made 702hp
5800rpm it made 669ft.lbs.
4500rpm it made 622ft.lbs.
All of this was on 91 Octane "Pump Gas" (the kind you buy at the pump of a Circle K)
The motor is a 454BBC, 60 over, 4.25" stroke, Iron Chevy heads (990's) with some very nice port work done to them. SRP Pistons, Comp Cam valve train, Hydrolic Roller, Edlebrock Victor Ram Tunnel Ram which was port matched, Holley 750HP Double Pumpers, and a SCAT crank and H Beam rods. Air temp was between 76 and 83 through out the day, and the water temp was 110 degrees!
Oh and it was assembled by DNE Motorsports Development, which is in Costa Mesa, Ca.
Here are a few photos!

The last run we made, we hooked everything up as it would be in the boat. We used my Mech. fuel pump, and ran the fuel through my fuel regulator, and the numbers where backed up!
Also, some other good news, I got my interior back today, and I didn't have to wait at all. It was sitting there for me when I drove up.
So, today was a good day for HBjet!
Ok, now let all of the "No Way", "That's Bogas", "I'm not buying it because I couldn't make my motor do that" begin
