DYNO disaster ? Help

First off, Good to hear from ya Prine. Second, Eighty Five Hundred Dollars? WOW !! I know things are higher in the big metropolitan areas but for that money? Stock heads with the intake your using with the carb combo? Dont think you are using all the fuel that the carb can supply. Compression seems a bit low until we really know what it is. If it's really 275 to the rear on a stock build 360? Not sure you could expect much more, but $8500 on a stock build?

Yep. Its not a pure stock engine. Its a screamer and radical idle. That price was complete turn key. Port polished heads, Engine, k member change from slant 6, new steering box, all the add on parts , electrical,tax labor to install, and complete trans build and install and drive shaft. I still wanted at least 300 hp and 325 trq at the wheels. The builder told me the motor was 385hp/385trq at the crank. rettig bros drag racing built the motor.
