So far the hp runs were 1st. 523 2nd. 521 3rd. 524 HP which is GREAT!!!!  And that is with everyones numbers being down from their own dynos. So here's crossing our fingers.

There ar only 7 engines left to run? The dyno schedule shows 40 teams, and I assume that means 40 engines, which leaves 20 to run. I hope I'm reading it wrong because only 7 more increases the chances of a top 6 finish significantly.

Do you know what the torque was?

Wasn't given the torque numbers.

Ted has ready outscored quite a few "modern" engines including an LS scrub. The heavy hitters are scheduled for Thursday but even if half of the remaining 20 outscore him it will still be very impressive. A finish in the 12th-15th range for a Y-Block is mind boggling. That's 25-28 guys behind him that chose any engine they wanted, built it the best they knew how and were beaten!

Jerry suffered a lifter failure on the dyno in Minnesota. He was actually 1st alternate and wasn't guaranteed a spot.

It's the end of the day and the Y entry is still in fifth place.  Half the field has now run with half to go.  The peak torque values are in the 477 ft/lb range.  Engine is running flawlessly and made the call to run it on the rich side with all the detonation issues that are being experienced by the other teams.  Brand of fuel was changed this year and detonation is a real problem with many of the other engines.  The Y entry is running with the initial tuneup without issues with the supplied 91 octane fuel though.

Sorry to hear about Jerry's cam and lifter issues.  Would have been great to had two Y-Blocks in this competition as he would have been another player based on the performance of some of the other engines.  As was the case last year, the Y entry is generating gobs of interest.

The meeting room was packed when the Y ran and the crowd was awed when the score was posted and then placed at fifth place.  Have a great crew with me including Harry Hutten and some good calls were made during the tuneup session.

Great job Ted!  Wish I could hear what was happening on the dyno, I'm sure it is a sweet sound.
