this is the last of the pics of the build.
so saturday the engine got loaded onto the dyno and it started first turn, awesome!
we ran it in most of saturday and set about some of the mapping saturday night. we saw some really strong figures and set about moving cam timing to see where the best compromise of torque, power and response using the superflo dyno options which are awesome, run through tests etc.
i sacrifised a little bit of torque to hold the power higher up but the torque is still awesome and the power and the way it holds it is awesome. im so so chuffed, it really is an amazing engine (should be considering the spec lol!)
anyway enough chat, heres the graphs
so when warm up is done its coming off the dyno, few jobs to finish off, then into the car. the pulleys and cam cover will be changed for the new items etc
Jim

There are not really any ancillaries to drive. There is PAS. And exhaust system may be slightly more restrictive but nothing detrimental. Maybe ten bhp
Awsome work Jimbo mate, the silver fox has taught you well young yb jedi. Looking forward to a passenger ride in the old girl next time I see you which will probably be central if your going? CAMPING this time for you I reckon
Nah mate, they've changed it to Gillette Crank....the best a YB can get!
