Brent, can you remind me again of a couple things on this 352:
* The LSA=106 but I cant find, where it the cam installed? ICL=???
* What does the exhaust look like? Pipes? Dyno mufflers? Backpressure measurements?
The Gonkulator thinks it should be making more power than it's making (with the new heads & dual quads), trying to figure out why.
Maybe it really DOES want to be Black, a proper Ford 352 color?
Maybe degree the cam again just as it's been run in the dyno?
It fits better with about a 101 ICL in the Gonkulator but again just hunting.
For an intake maybe try something good but small like that 390HiPo intake IIRC you have on hand already?
small intake but it's such a small engine.
Take all the plugs out & check the turnover torque?
Then take the rockers off & try same? Ie is something "tight" in there?
Cam is installed on a 105 I think. Exhaust is my normal dyno stuff.
I don't think it's making the horsepower it should either, that's why I'm trying different stuff. For one, I think I spec'd the existing cam with more overlap than I need, so that's why I have another cam here waiting. I also think the engine needs a different intake manifold layout (plenum, runner length, etc.) than the ones I've tried.
Werb, I've had the rockers off and on about a dozen times since the engine was built, even switching from my non-adjustable rollers to T&D streets.
When it was new, it took 7 lb-ft of continuous torque to keep the rotating assembly moving. I would imagine it's a little less now. Nothing wrong with the bottom end, I watch the oil temps and check the filter every time it's dyno'd.
The cam is going to stay where it is until I change to the new one. I can't go 101 because I run out of piston/valve clearance. I degreed it at several positions when I installed it.
I don't have a 390 Hipo intake here.
It's certainly an induction system issue and I'll find it sooner or later.
