When racing starts in the spring it's just one thing to take off the list of things to get right in order to go fast.. Money well spent IMO.
Thanks Dave, Like I just mentioned to Eric, I was just being unrealistic. You know, in my mind, my engine was going to be this "wow, I can't believe it put out THAT much power" motor. I would be the featured article in Hot Rod with the title 'Unbelievable HP/TQ out of a 413 small block'..... ha,ha,ha...... But my main reason for wanting it Dyno'ed was to make sure it would run ok before shipping back to Kansas {from Calif}. If something is wrong I wanted to know it before it got installed in the car....
One more question; Does it really take a whole day of dyno time to hook up {flywheel dyno, $750 a day} & tune a small block???
Thanks again Bill
