470 going to the dyno - HP/TQ estimates

I am really running it on the dyno to heat cycle a few times and check for leaks, then make a couple of pulls just as a baseline. Feedback from a few people I know that have dynoed sniper systems is that the engine dyno tune usually isn't that great in the car. I will probably have the car tuned on a chassis dyno with the full sniper system once all the bugs are worked out sometime this summer.

Got it. Usually the dyno headers are sprint car style and worth a few HPs over the full length chassis headers, and the carb will be a few numbers better than the sniper at the top. So you’re numbers won’t be entirely accurate to what you’ll end up with, but a safe break in and leak check is well worth it if you’re having the sniper tuned later on a chassis dyno.
