505 stroker fresh off the dyno - Power seems low? Thoughs?

To be honest, I'm not sure there is another dyno in the state. originally I asked around on fakebook, and locally and only one business came up, with some speculation of another, but never did get contact info. I will put some feelers out again to see what I can find.

I asked about an air turbine to get air intake numbers, and I was greeted with a blank stare, so I assumed they didn't have one. We did look at a few other builds he had in his records, but nothing was close enough to really compare. He had one that was fairly close but was a roller cam engine, and it was 650hp, but a lot of the engine details were not noted, essentially just displacement and some minor details like carb size.

Yeah, a compression test with a strong cranking would have done me a world of good. I paid out the nose for professional advice and assistance and didn't get it. I won't be going back to Wheeler Dyno and Engine services in Blaine, MN again.


Just for your information, checking the lift and duration means nothing when degreeing the cam. At this point, it is evident you have no idea where the cam is timed. Dot to dot means nothing.

I’ll ask it again because it’s been asked before but I’ve never seen your answer. When you had the degree wheel and dial indicator on the engine, did you actually verify the installed intake centerline, or did you just line up the dots and send it?
