0307MM TOHOTPT333 Z

After finding a bad ground, the engine fired up and sounded good. We let the 302 warm up to temperature (180 degrees) and then we headed straight for the dyno. The graph (shown) is only the second pull on the engine. On the first shot it made 275 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque. We only had time for one change, so we took one turn out of the fuel pressure regulator and found 10 ponies and a little torque. Timing was at 14 degrees and fuel pressure was at 42 pounds In the near future we'll do more tuning and try to crack the 300hp mark.
