So, I have a rebuilt 308 in my VK.
Specs:
308
40 thou bore
Flat tops
0 deck height
10:5.1 compression
237-237@50 524-524 lift 108 LSA
Jetted Quaddy
1 inch spacer
Recurved dizzy
Brock manifold
Brock heads(big valves)
Extractors
2.5 inch exhaust
Auto 3000 stall
3.45 gears
Put the car on the dyno and got 160kw!
I don't know, but I expected a little more than that.
I have another car with much less work done to it and it's got 185kw.
What's going on here?
Any ideas..?

Was the 180 kW measured on the same dyno, by the same operator ?

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Yes it was.
I didn't like the dyno guy to be honest.
He was really dry in attitude.
When I was taking the car back home, the idle wasn't holding right and the car felt a little less powerful than before.
I don't know, perhaps it was an off day for him and the dyno.
It just doesn't feel like 160kw. If feels faster,stronger than the other 185kw car I have...
