That picture of all the suspension components laid out is just sexy

We stopped tuning because the tire was rubbing too much. With an eye to the future we figured the best solution was a frame notch, mini-tub, and 6pt.roll cage from http://www.JWRacing-fab.com We also decided to do some suspension upgrades while we were at it. As Bobby said: “I can build you a motor that can run 10.20’s all day but can you get that power to the ground?”. With a stock 25+ yr.old suspension? No. Work should be finished this weekend then it is off for some ‘Dino’ tuning with Otto J J

The rpm on that dyno appears to be incorrect.

They would cross at 5252 just because of the formula for hp. There's no way to load a convertered car that hard at that low of an rpm and why would the test stop at 4700. A heads cam engine will make useful power to at least 5500. Looks like torque should be moved to the right approximately 1000rpm. This would raise the peak hp number and lower the peak tq number. Probably more like 530whp/510ft lbs peak numbersWhy do you say that? Isn't HP and Torque supposed to cross at 5454? It seems like it is heading in that direction
^^^thisI wondering if the dyno rpm pick up was set up for 8 cylinder instead of 6. That would make the graph from 4400-6250 rpm. Making the hp value higher and the torque value lower
You know it... I was due to go up there and get a tune then he closed shop. I was so bummed.I sure as hell wish his shop didn't close!!! That hurt!
