nice job man !!!! those are some sweet #'s ....very close to my deal expecially the torque numbers .....that ought to be a monster in you chassis , keep us posted on your times

just think if it was a big bore deal....................

Good numbers ........... It looks like it's a little lean, did you try fattning up to between 12.5 to 13 afr to see if it would make more power .

When you gonna hit the track............ ? Be sure to keep us posted, should be a fun ride.

Very nice #'s

You are right...it is a touch on the lean side. These 2 pulls were made with #98 jets squared...that was the biggest we tried. We made 7 pulls total trying to sneak up on the AFR. I wanted to try to keep to the lean side for the consistancy. We generally race in the afternoon into night time...big swings in the density altitude. I figured this may make the car a little easier to dial. As the weather warms up, this tune-up should be about right. (I hope.)
My first 557 made 820/736...the car ran 5.70-5.60's with it. Our track opens the first of April and I have a lot to get done. (Basically had the whole car apart this winter.) Should be ready sometime mid-April or so. I plan on seeing ya'll at the Bash!

Very Nice !!! Congratulations.

Nice numbers i was off by 17.2 horsepower and 3.8 lb.ft. of torque on my guess.

Later Mark.

That's a killer 557 !!! You'll give them chebbie boys something to cry about with that combo

Nice #'s should run awsome

Damn I was close
I was off 5.2 hp and 6.8 ftlbs

Congrat on the big HP

I like Margaritas

About 2600 or so with me in it.

You got that thing in the car yet!!!!!!!! I'm about ready, to give the ole whoop-whoop on the finish line It's a good thing to have another FORD in S/P this year since there is usually only three out of 80 cars but I love the fact they HATE us!!!!!!!

ANY UPDATES? ON THE MOTOR IN THE CAR! IAM BUILDING THE SAME CAR!
