Had my 440 tuned on the dyno today and drivability really improved but my numbers are a little below what I expected. About 350 HP and 405 ft lbs at the wheels. HP begins tapering off around 4500 and drops at 5500. Is this about right for my combo or do I have an issue? My setup is as follows;
rebuilt 440 with 1000 miles on it.
70' forged crank and reconditioned rods
KB 237 pistons
10.6 compression and running on 93 octane
Stealth Heads w/ 1.6 rockers
Eddy RPM dual plane intake
Atomic EFI system
MSD 6AL2 ignition
Comp Cam Xtreme Energy Hi-Lift .545" Hydraulic flat tappet
110* lobe separation angle (cam is supposed to make power through 6000 RPM)
Comp cams dual valve springs (for greater than .510 lift)
1 7/8" fenderwell headers into 3" exhaust.
Anything I'm missing?
I should also mention I had good fuel pressure and A/F ration all the way through 6000 RPM. Engine temp was constant at 180*. Total timing is at 35*.
Is it possible my valves are floating even with the quality springs? What am I missing? Or do these numbers look about right for my combo?
