Here is my 502. They are doing some cleaning up and putting my IMCO valve covers and oil pan on now but I thought that I would post the dyno video for those not following my 25 ZX thread.

Wow Keith, those are big numbers. Is he done with the tune? I Thought on Blown motors the full throttle A/F Ratio should be below 12.0. (I'm not a tuner, and don't claim to be) On all the preformance automotive sites I go to and in Books I have the Blown target (full load) A/F is 11.8-11.5, the 12's your getting seem to be N/A numbers Not FI. If Mark is happy with it and it'll live then it will be a crispier running motor,but I thought it was a bit lean. Hedge or Tex....What do you guys get for A/F #'s????????

Thanks Michael. I haven't talked to him but I am sure that he has it where he wants it. I have never heard a bad word about his engines living. With that being said ....DWM has put this engine through hell already. I think it also may depend on charge air temps. I think on a roots blower that you may be right about the 11:1 thing. I will talk to him tomorrow and get his take on it.

Nice work. That thing pulls especially hard from 4300-5300.

EDIT: graph fixed

Thanks Cutwater!! That graph is great!! I think the HP and Torque are reversed though.

I would have to pull my dyno sheets and am on the road. I will do it when I get back. Eddie ran mine about 0.5 to the lean side since we did not use wet pipes.

I am in the same boat as Keith and Tex on the final number. Eddie warranteed my engine so I did whatever he said. Eddie builds some of the biggest / most reliable marine packages around and has never had one melt down. He says that Marc is one of the best tuners in the country so that is all I need to know.

I think that you should get a custom decal made up that says SWAMP RAT 502!

I don't even want to tell you how much power the engine made after they found out that the engine had the wrong dipstick and dip stick tube and they drained the oil to do an oil change before they put the motor back in the boat and found that the engine had 5 gallons of oil in it.

They had to do some modifications to my Procharger screen also.

You have to do this Keith!

OK..I need a big RAT with a crazy grin on his face or something. Or maybe a big sack hanging:shocking:. I think SWAMP RAT 850 SCI sounds better. I will have to get the top of the 500 efi intake measured. I wish that I would have done it today!!

How 'bout something like this?

The Hedgehog

Getting there. It needs to be able to go on the rectaugular spot where the 500 EFI was located.

I bet that Keith can get those dimensions

That is pretty good Wayne. I was thinking something a little wilder though. I kind of like the Rat Fink and Rat and crossbones. It is going to have to be called a "SWAMP RAT 850" SCI though.

I will call New Orleans and get them to measure the top of the intake today.

Yes, sir! I am getting ready to walk over to the Blue Moon for brunch and bloodys. Hit Hennans last night. You really need to get up here again. I miss boating with someone that can actually help out.

You are right!! I am not sure if I am coming anymore. Maybe I can catch up with you and Bill sometime. I can't wait to see what a 1100 HP 27 ZX can do!!
