Hello,
I joined just so I could post in this thread. What a great "dyno" test stand. Mad skills and knowledge to put that together.
I didn't read every post, so sorry if this has been asked and answered:
What viscosity oil did you use in the testing, and have you heated the oil up to 180* or so and run it ?
It might be interesting to see what a pump would do with 10-40 vs 20-50 with the oil temp at 180*. Also a "dino" oil and a synthetic oil of the same viscosity. Over the years I've run several engines back to back with conventional oil vs Mobil 1. From 342", 351, 512, 565 (current engine 950 hp single 1,050) the least I've seen was 8 hp - the most 15.
Anyway .... GREAT DEAL !!!
Jon
I have a Stroker (4.25 x 3.98) project I'm working on with Barry's MR heads. Hopefully it will be together this year. I'll post up about it later. I have a lot of reading to catch up to on my FE stuff.
