Hi nutcase, thanks for the good words! Nope those are the dyno headers. They said they are only 2" primary and if I am going larger (2.125") that will probably show more power too. Typically their 540 with 10.5 CR are doing about 710-725HP on the dyno. (Watch some of their other dynos online) Mine was built with only 9:1 CR for the boost application. But with a different cam also. CA weather will probably increase my torque and power by at least 5%!!! lol

thanks again for looking in

Not bad at all for that little 4150 carb. Can't wait to see and hear it boosted!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build

Sounds healthy PTC!!
Looks good too!

Now take a few weeks vacation (again), build that motor in, get some boost and try the dyno again!

I'm waiting.....

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build

Well the engines in.... had to cut away most all my work on the firewall cause it didnt want to drop right in. so a new firewall is going to be done again. I have mocked up all the aluminum fuel lines (1/2" feed and return) to support 150 GPH onto the frame rails. I also got all the brake lines bent, shaped and mocked up to all four corners and mounted on the frame rails.

Next is mock up the hydro system and power steering lines, and then onto the headers and exhaust....

Will post some pics soon....
