Ran the motor this past week at Westech and was extremely pleased with the results....750 lb-ft and 709 HP. Peak torque came on very early around 4,400 rpm. Peak power was made at 14.4 psi on a conservative tune. My 91 octane tune still pulls 620 lb-ft on 10 psi, so it will make for a very fun street car. We found out that I needed larger wastegates, so if anyone needs Turbonetics Deltagates (Mark II), let me know. As you can see in my videos below, my exhaust is WAY too restrictive and is causing it to glow bright orange under boost. I'm going to address this soon!

Man, that is one of the sexiest builds I've ever seen - wahoo!!!! What size injectors are you using and what is your total displacement ?

Overall, that is really nice work on that motor icon_thumb.gif

Thanks guys! The motor is a 383 with Dart Pro 1 heads, 60 mm Turbonetics T04B's, FAST EFI, Holley Stealth Ram, and 84 lb injectors. The car is very street tame and idles like a kitten around 850-900 rpm. Should be quite a sleeper as it sounds about like a stock 300HP 350 until the turbos start spooling then all hell breaks loose. Rob built the motor and we still have some work to do to get the manifolds right. They are mild steel and the ceramic coating baked off almost instantly under load on the dyno. I am concerned they will crack over time and am considering some cast manifolds similar to what Gale Banks offers. I wish I had enough coin for 321 stainless headers!
