I caught Nicks Garage the other night, when sleep was avoiding me. I watched a 408 dyno, but the killer for me was the 241 dyno test. If you remember, probably not, I have a second car. A 1938 Ford Standard Tudor Sedan, with a 325+ 57 Dodge engine, muchly modified. Schneider cam, bored. .040, and a hand made EFI injection system put together by Fran Olson in North Carolina. So, while a completely different motor, it was interesting watching them dyno a baby small hemi. They did get 160 hp out of it, but then had problems when they were trying for more. Stock was 150 hp, but contrary to what they talked about, I believe that 150 hp was with a two barrel, they were using a Carter carb from the mid 50's. But, what intrigued me, was it sounded like it was still gaining power at 5100, where they shut it down. I remember talking with the people at Schneider Cams when I was figuring out what I needed, and they said 5300 was about the maximum for an early Hemi. It was interesting. I wish that I could see a 325 D-500 hemi done on his dyno.
