What hp and torque am I making?

Sounds exactly right. Dulcich did a supposedly everything stock 340 build with the 268xe and X heads with a 3 angle valve job and claimed 400 hp. That is what makes me think the Westech dyno is a little happy. Must have had some magic dyno dust sprinkled around that day.

That article makes me laugh everytime someone brings up making 400hp with a stock headed 340 and a XE268H.

Had real world experience with an engine that was tested at westech then another shop about 2 weeks later. Numbers were not close to each other. The car ran almost spot on to the second shops lower numbers for MPH once it got sorted out a little.

I think the set up at westech is closer to reality now. You can make any software spit out numbers if you know what to tweak in the code/tables. A cheap humidifier can do wonders mucking up the weather stations readings for making great air seem like garbage. I did that to prove a point once or twice. LOL
