John, engine number 2 made 608 HP @ 6500 RPM, I made some mistakes on this build, and would like to try it again some time. </div></div>
Ya Mark, your right. It's down a tad from where I thought it would be, 620/630 range, RPM is right though lol.
We have found that in some cases, the light weight "rotating assembly" can actually HURT a cars performance. More in these heavy streetcar type of deals. We believe the especially on the street when you not fully into it, the heavy rotating help on shift recovery??? Inertia???? i don't know for sure, but found on cars that are 3700+ this seems to happen, yet track ET's seems consistent within less then a tenth?
Funny, guys are looking at motor 2, but overlooking the fact that a stock style L72 in motor 1 made 570??????? I see a few places on that build as we know and you could easily be 630Hp, just not sure exactly how the motor went together.
Mark, good work as always.
