Wyatt - I understand why you’re saying that, but I’m liking Kyle even more than I do Steve and still trying to put my finger on why... I’m a dad with 2 30+ y/o ‘kids’... I think Kyle is still innocent. I guess spending 20 more years in the trade and raising grown up kids of his own will soon knock that out of him...?!
😃 The intro with Dewey is AWESOME! Dad should be VERY proud of you as you have stepped in and successfully filled a very large set of shoes which is no easy feat! Kudos Kyle, and congratulations on carrying the mantel. We're sure Dad is going to take a peek at the channel as that's what dad's do. LOL 😂
A young man who not only knows what he's doing, but where he's going, all while commanding the respect of his elders is a very rare thing indeed. I doff my cap to you youngster, you're going places in life. A chip right off the ol' block as they say. Keep that shit up
@@flytoday Yeah this short period of human history is going to be gone sooooo soon eh, that's why I was so furious at WhistlinDiesel for destroying iconic cars like late 60's Chargers etc, those will be incredibly valuable when people look back on this tiny tiny period where we discovered how to turn dead dinosaurs into huge grins by literally setting fire to the air we breath (almost sounds silly now that I write it), and I'd hate it if the only cars we saved were AMC Gremlins😁
after seeing the specs on the powerplant, I kept waiting to see a blower installed when you swapped out the lifters. great power for having such low compression. keep up the good work.
Remember that static compression means very little at the end. We don't know any valuable valve events, thus we don't know what the cylinder pressure is. I suspect that this cam lifts pretty high and has quite the area under the curve. Also, that LSA definitely help it carry on at higher RPM. The lower end would be stronger with say a 110 LSA, but it would be a dog up on top, especially with that compression.
@@AB-80X we also dont know if the customer has crap gas where he lives. might even be intentional for a blower in future i suspect being a wide l.s.a and low comp would be perfect.
I liked the different angles of the dyno pulls, Panned out seeing operator and engine, screen and engine then just engine. Good work camera man. Beginning was entertaining also.
I hope your pops does tell you from time to time that you are doing a amazing job, when I was growing up my pops always did at some point make what we were doing worth it. If not I think you are doing great, but he did leave you the keys to a very amazing kingdom and I hope he is proud
Very nice job, the company is in great hands! I'm old, so lifters pumping up was pretty standard back in my day yet I still ended up having to kick myself when you sussed it, I completely forgot that was a thing - a low rpm thing in this case which is kinda surprising with a mild cam, so very very good spot!
I love the depth of thought you guys put into solving any mechanical refinements in order to yield the best, most optimal power band... Most people would just throw ignition timing at it to compensate, but obviously you guys know what to expect with a given build, nice work!
Steve should be pretty impressed how Kyle stepped through each issue with a logical solution and verified it with testing. Definitely not the first time he has been on the Dyno. Great job Kyle. Great Job Steve.
Curious to see the duty cycle of the injectors with the higher pressure. I usually cut those 4 injector units off at 650 HP. Cool to see one go higher. We actually have 120 lb/hr injectors for the Sniper and Terminator X Stealth if you want a bit more headroom on it.
It all comes out in the end. Great job analyzing. Papa's gotta be proud. I wonder if he has the ability to enjoy his time off and not peek in to see how you are doing. 😁 If he does check in, he's gonna be proud. 👍
Cool that hart should get any rig flying 😅🤣 thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones, great job on the presentation/performed, it was bloody good
Great post Kyle Dad can leave business to ya without worries for sure It's nice to see an air breather like that now n then Powerplants have gotten so exotic thru the years with Turbos blowers pro chargers compound charged set ups It's cool to see setups like that Aluminum blocked Super Cool 700+ n big torque#'s👍
Impressive.I would love to see you guys do a dyno test of a high milage low compression BBC with a *cheapo rebuild *( ball hone,port match,intake ,cam,etc) Of course the reliability factor of the dyno engine is worth every penny but it would be fun to see what a worn out naturally aspirated BBC can throw down.
That thing may need some fuel dampening especially at the higher pressures you are running that system. That could account for your dip along with the the inadequate injection. I noticed you added timing in the middle and pulled some on the top end to smooth out the graph. I think If that was my engine I would probably put a carb on it and see if that fixes it.
Lov'n your honesty there young fella.....it's what makes ya dad and now you....engine builders/tuners/racers/ fabricating....cool as sht humans....💪😎🍺🇳🇿
Sweet aluminum 509 street engine. That baby is certainly much more capable than the current set up allows. Little bit of gear and converter behind it, and front wheels will be hanging.
Nice engine! That’s a really short cam for a BBC, made possible by some serious heads, I think. And all aluminum, too! For that lifter issue, how ‘bout running some street solid lifters on the hydraulic grind? Lash at zero or barely loose cold, use the hydraulic spring package, get a lot less valve train weight, too. Some tests (Westech, I think) have shown another 15 or so hp, not that you need it. Again, really nice engine!
I remember two + years back Steve saying something too the effect that is you call about an NA engine you are going to get (and I quote) "a dear in the headlights look"I'm not seeing that lately!!!
Good job and nice video. My Dad drove a garbage truck for a living. I am not saying anything negative about that as my upbringing was very good. I think Steve is a good Dad to have also. I would have loved to run engines on the dyno as a young man myself.
