.Great numbers.I agree the dyno is a great tuning tool among other things.

I'm wondering now if it's time to have the converter restalled lower but without having the ability to test/restall/retest before the season starts I'm too chicken to have it done, I't hate to lose ET.

One thing I will be monitoring is my playback tach. If the converter flashes a bunch more RPM than last year I know I've made improvements.
One of the things I learned was that I was running too much timing, 38 to 40 degrees. It makes it's best numbers with 35 degrees total.

That looks like an awesome engine, rust. I noticed there are no A/F and BSFC numbers on the dyno graphs. Are they just not printed out or didn't you get any?

Unfortunately their flow meters needed calibration so no A/F info. That was disappointing, would have been nice to see how efficiently the engine was using fuel.

Yeah, too bad. I bet you would have seen some fine BSFC numbers with that engine. I'm currently building a 406 similar to yours, so I found this very interesting.
