engine dyno

Could someone calculate roughly the horse power and torquefor my 1970s 428 that im building.

Cam/lifters<TABLE border=1><TBODY><TR><TD>Grind Number:</TD><TD>266 H10</TD></TR><TR><TD>Operating Range:</TD><TD>1400-4800 RPM</TD></TR><TR><TD>Duration Advertised:</TD><TD>266° Intake / 266° Exhaust</TD></TR><TR><TD>Duration @ .050'' Lift:</TD><TD>210° Intake / 210° Exhaust</TD></TR><TR><TD>Valve Lift w/1.76 Rockers:</TD><TD>.516'' Intake / .516'' Exhaust</TD></TR><TR><TD>Lobe Separation Angle:</TD><TD>110°</TD></TR><TR><TD>Max Lift Angle:</TD><TD>105° ATDC Intake / 115° BTDC Exhaust</TD></TR><TR><TD>Open/Close @.050'' Cam Lift:</TD><TD>Intake - 0° BTDC (opens) / 30° ABDC (closes)
Exhaust - 40° BBDC (opens) / (10°) BTDC (closes)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
factory springs/valves
Rotating assembly is stock
factory 4bbl intake/reman holley 600 carb
Hooker headers, dual exhaust
fel-pro head gaskets

is that about all i need.

thanks

To run a decent dyno program you need actual seat to seat cam timing figures.

Sorry for dumb question but what exactly is seat to seat timing figures. If not how much would it throw off the dyno of would it not work at all.

I should be able to do this...

Here are the seat-to-seat timing numbers for that cam. They can be calculated with the info provided.

IVO:28
IVC:58
EVO:68
EVC:18

I need to know the compression ratio and what heads are being used in order to run the simulation. At the very least tell me what pistons and what heads, and I should be able to calculate it pretty close.

Ok, we're getting closer. Do you have CJ heads or not? What is the casting number of the heads? It matters because of valve size and combustion chamber volume.

Ok those are probably standard heads.

Ok, I'm coming up with 8.68:1 compression (based on 73cc chambers), 309hp @ 4000rpm, and 461ft-lbs @ 2000rpm.

I would suggest you change your head gasket selection to a Mr. Gasket #1132 steel shims for more compression. Then you'd at least have 9.08:1, again figuring 73cc chambers. That would raise the power output to 316hp @ 4000rpm, and 469ft-lbs @ 2000rpm.
