Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
that might be the 5 1/2 cyl run and i'm not sure if i removed the muffler at that point. (pretty sure it was the gimp run)woody90gtz wrote:Brendan we have a video of your drive by. Your car sounds like a nasty small block chevy in this one!

i remember at one point i took the muffler off (pre cutout stage) and i had a cracked spark plug so it ran like crap.
i'll see what i can do for a recent drive by vid by myself. gotta find a good road where i can set the cam up so someone won't steal it.

Well it made 202WHP and 203TQ this past weekend on a wobbly front wheel.
Not to bad for the duration of my camshaft.

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
at what RPM? And what cam you have? torque seems a little on the low side...

What are you basing your number off of?LX9Power wrote:at what RPM? And what cam you have? torque seems a little on the low side...
Dave's 3500 was putting down 275whp and 257wtq and that was with is VERY radical cam, so with a 206 duration cam and the lift Robert has I think his tq number is just fine.
The thing that suprised me is even running up to 6400 approximately we never found where the power starts to drop... I'll post a few pulls to show that too.
