Seppo.  Great numbers and reinforces why adding boost is a great power adder.  Rough math has that engine making almost 300HP in a normally aspirated setup which is still respectable even without the boost.  Thanks for providing the lb/ft torque numbers.  That helps to keep the torque values in a U.S. numbers format.

Thanks Ted. That 300 hp estimate can well be true and maybe even little high as our compression ratio is well under 8.5. But still, those iron heads still stand strong! And, we hit that over 900 hp many times yesterday.

BTW. Advance was 38 degrees in 32 lbs boost at 6300 RPM / maximum power point.
Dynoman thinked, under that engine cant even run without popping.

E85 is quite hard to get knocking.

The numbers look great. Good job.   It looks like oil pressure is falling form 70 to 25 psi during the run.  Hopefully you guys have a handle on that.  Look forward to seeing more videos.

John, you're correct with that oil pressure issue. It has to be issue with crank case pressure under heavy load. Vacuum pump or do you have any other solution? Dry sump would be great with three or five stages.

Wow!! Congratulations!  Not only are the numbers almost un believable, but what are you doing to keep that engine together?!

Paul, There's nothing much you can do. Either it stands the boost or not... Crank is still the same old forged truck crank and Callies Compstar rods should stand at least 800 hp as they advertise. Well, we went a little over that... 292 +.030  block has no cement and main caps are stock with stock bolts and that may be the issue with losing oil pressure. What I think is that under heavy load the caps deform and let the oil flow out of bearings. That's definitely not a good thing and for next block we have to change better caps and put that girdle on what is almost done already. We just haven't needed it yet... For now all we can do is chance arp studs to main caps.
