438/451 Lowdeck Dyno

Its all relative i guess? all in what you want to do. I see i am making 515 tq at 2900 and your made 511 at 3600. All you really did was move the curve up. you are making a bit more hp, but i am just under 10.0-1 compression too. Cam specs will be dofferent etc. I am running a dual plane yours is a single plane. Both make good power for the intended use i suppose. My engine builder said there was more to be had in the heads, but didnt feel it was worth the time and cost at this time. Small intake runner, has good air speed and velocity. keep the torque going.

You have a VERY FINE Engine there Fisher !
I certainly meant no dis-respect by referring to the power output as "normal" earlier, for UN-Ported Eddy Heads in that application ??
Nonetheless,
the numbers pretty much..... ARE "normal" from what we see here with UN-Ported Heads on the Dyno.

My only intent was to show the advantages of "PORTING" on ANY application ?
You should be happy.... you have POWER left "in the Bank" for later if/when you ever decide to "Port" your Heads !
I apologize,
I should NOT have posted a B based lowdeck, I did not realize you might have interpreted it as a "troll" on your build, if that is the case ? certainly unintended.

Again... and maybe a better non-comparison that won't offend, here is a
"Budget" 440 Engine.
It nonetheless, still emphasizes the advantages to some Port-work.
440 Block
Stock LY Rods W/ARP Bolts
ICON Pistons
regular 5/64" Rings(non 1/16")
Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam @ .510" Lift
"Street Ported" Stealth Heads
Dual Plane Eddy rpm Intake

545 HP @ 5500 rpm
564 Ft/Lbs TRQ @ 4500 rpm
and this one was still above 560 Ft/lbs down @ 3,000 rpm as well.
