Last weekend I was in Fort Worth, TX to dyno tune a really nice Hemi Daytona (clone) that has broken a lot of records at Bonneville.
I think I understand this next part, but LSR guys please correct me if I am mistaken: the reason the owner switched to EFI is so he can use a pre-1981 (Classic) chassis to compete in the "Production" class - something about the rule book that says you can use a pre-1981, classic car in Production if you run a non-OEM EFI system.
Big thanks to DF for sending Lee (owner) my way for help. I've had a blast working with these guys, and the car he's building for next year is 1000% off the chain awesome (more on that later).
Our dyno shop canceled on us at the last minute, which sucks when you've travelled a thousand miles to tune the car - thankfully, an import tuning connection came through and opened up his shop bright and early Saturday for us.
The engine dyno'd at 930hp on Ray Barton's engine dyno. We weren't looking for power numbers, just the ability to load the engine at 7000+rpm to make sure the fuel and timing are where we need it to be.
The engine is a 498" Barton Hemi, burning C25 fuel, with a Carl Foltz EFI intake, twin big TBs, and a ratchet shifted Jerico 4-speed. 9" rear with 2.80 gears.
Below are some pics, and brief dyno pulls.
