Horsepower guesses?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just got the new and improved Wagoneer v2.0 up and running, probably going to throw it on the chassis dyno some night next week.  Thought it would be interesting to see what the masses think it'll make for horsepower.  Specs are as follows:

4.195 bore 1977 401 block
studded 2 bolt main
extra head studs
standard journal 1977 401 crank
out of the box K1 rods
Pro Tru flat tops (10.5:1)
502-2s with 2.08/1.74 valves and mild porting (270/220 @ .550)
very mild hydraulic cam 231/241 .562/.549
Indy intake
Motor made 499 hp on the engine dyno n/a with a torker

And the Kicker.
83mm S400 based turbo, T6 96mm 1.32 hotside
mid mounted
blow thru 950 carb
E85
no intercooler
No oiling mods aside from a home built deep pan and oiling holes and slots cut under the rear main bearing

Since it's a chassis dyno, the rest of the drivetrain is a TH400 with a PTC 10" converter, Ford 8.8 with 3.54 gears.

So, let's hear the guesses on horsepower.  If you think it's just going to blow up let's hear the guesses on what's going to break.

Pictures since I know it'll get asked.

	Turbo with an honest 10.5:1 sounds scary, you running methanol?

	Yep, legit 10.5:1. It's blow thru on e85 so it's all good.
