Rono sent me a short vid of his Blown Stroker, first run?

Short but Sweet.

Thanks Dennis for posting those Flip Video's. My wife was taking them and took more of the control room than of the motor. This was just the first attempt and I need to do more testing and get it dialed in better with good headers and step up the secondary jets to #77. I also only ran the motor up to 5000 RPM and only tried 1 setting on the Boost Retard Box and that was 1degree of retard per pound of boost. It was super hot that day too and even with 2 exhaust fans and a big blower fan on the motor, it was almost 100 degrees in the dyno room. Next time will be different. For sure it won't be done in a barn in NH!

What kind of power or A/F were you running?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I think he is saying we cannot make out the Power, torque, AF mixture it made in the video, do you have a copy of the sheet you can post?

Oh,... Yes I have I printout, but I'm not too proud of the HP. The torque was good but we only ran the motor up to 5,000 RPM. He didn't think he needed to run mass air balance when we first broke the motor in without the blower hooked up, but I have the A/F ratio numbers. I don't know why he didn't want to measure air flow, but I wasn't going to argue with him because I don't know that much about it. I'll take a picture of the data and post it when I get a chance.

I remember seeing a sheet that had air/fuel ratio numbers, but in the copies he gave me it wasn't there. HP numbers were still climbing when we stopped the pull. Conclusion was that I need to go to a bigger carb (750 cfm) and add a good set of headers.

Hi Rono, The numbers appear a bit low for the motor you have, I would think more towards the 400 range, the Air fuel mixture AF numbers tell you what the optimum number is so you can adjust/replace/ jet up/jet down the carb bla bla bla to get the optimum HP torque etc, they should be somewhere between 12-14% but Ted can probably tell you the exact optimum numbers, I think a .4 is in there somewhere whether it is 12.4 or 13.4 etc but they are very important numbers to have to dial it in correctly.

Hi Billy;

Gord McMillen also feels that the motor should be capable of 400 HP @ 6,000 RPM. Once I get the motor mocked-up in the car I can then decide on what type of headers I can use. I think the heat was also a factor on that day and the carb size/jetting.
