Awesome results! I'm surprised the peak power is so low in the rpm range with a cam that big, usually a cam with specs like that will be rated between 2500-7000 RPM'ish... it seems to taper off past 5200-5300 RPM, so do you think the intake or heads peak at that point or did you expect that range? Also how is the idle characteristics? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Yes, I'd also be be interested in the idle characteristics - vacuum at idle and at what RPM? 

Fantastic engine, well done!

There are 2 videos of it running in his original post. I believe that he told me 13 inches vacuum at around 800 rpm.

Thats really good. I watched both videos, but didn't see the Hg. It did seem to idle well, better than I expected.

He can build you one just like it. That one is sold. He didn't list the vacuum reading on the videos.

I'd have to ask how much $$$ though, which of course means I can't afford it.

I'd bet about $5K, give or take 10%. Starting with nothing other than a core.
