Default Re: L-72 Dyno Test

Well, guys, it's final: we put the L-72 on the dyno yesterday, and it spun it up to the tune of 420hp@5,600. This was through the exhaust manifolds, of course, but we were more after a good "break in" for the engine, and to try so different settings (jetting, timing, lash, etc.). Needless to say, we learned a LOT! The settings we ended with (lash=24,24 jets=78,84 timing=40 degrees) are a little bit different than what Pete used, but they worked the best for us, so we stuck with 'em. Now, I had better go see about getting that thing between the frame rails...
