According to my Desktop Dyno it's 180hp/255ft.lbs.torque. Since there isn't a chassis dyno anywhere close I'll never know. Compared to other programs a few people run for me, they're all pretty close. Built it for the torque curve, not horsepower, 242@1500rpm, 255@2750rpm, and still 207@4500rpm.

Well, an update

Finally got to the timing chain, pulled the cover excited to see a broken chain and already have a replacement, well it wasn't the chain! It was sitting there nice and pretty. Turns out, the dizzy gear broke off, and the shaft is cracked.

So, I oredered an MSD dizzy from Summit, along with an MSD 6 Offroad box, so I will be putting that in soon.

Well, that takes care of looking for springs. Now, just wondering what caused it.

I dunno, I'm hoping just a weak shaft. Anyway, I scratched the MSD idea and ended up ordering a DUI distributor from performance distributors. One wire hook up and doing away with the coil and ignition box, awesome! and Cheaper than MSD dizzy w/ the MSD 6 box I was gonna order! They also custom curve it for you with your engine specs.
