Peckerpower Pump Gas 540"

94ttss · Apr 26, 2013

I finally got it done and on the dyno. It should be a fun ride. The goal was to build a bad a$$ pump gas 540" for my 67 Chevelle. With the help of Chris Straub, Mike Lewis, Dave Jack Cylinder Heads and B&B Machine I think we got it done. Let me know what you guys think.

The combination:
GenVI GM block 4.500 bore
Wolfplace balanced rotating assembly, Scat forged 4.25 crank, Scat h-beam rods w/ARP bolt upgrade, Mahle pistons. 11.4 to 1 cr.
Brodix custom oval raised port castings cnc ported by Weld Tech w/ matching Brodix HV2019 Dominator intake fully ported. 2.300 int.1.88ex. valve job, bowl blend and intake porting by Dave Jack Cylinder Heads.
Straub solid roller .757/.709 lift 266/271 duration on 108cl
Isky EZX lifters
Jesel shaft rockers
Stefs Heads Up oil pan
GZ SuperPro vacuum pump
Lance Patton 1100 cfm Dominator

First pull 33 degrees timing

Best pull 33 degrees timing, vacuum pump

Damn, really liked the vacuum pump

BigLar368 · Apr 26, 2013

Very nice....was pump gas used for the dyno pulls?

cstraub · Apr 26, 2013

First pull had 93 Octane pump gas.

The first couple pulls were with pump gas. We switched to C12 and didn't see any real difference. We tried more timing with the fuel and it didn't like it, lost 20hp. Going to make a few more pulls today without the 2" spacer to see what that's worth.

Lot's of power for sure. Are you going to pull on the street below 4600 rpm? I was assuming pump gas = street driving.

Nice numbers at a low rpm. What heads are those exactly?

scott foxwell · Apr 26, 2013

WeldTech raised oval port on a custom Brodix casting, with a matching intake. Bad ass set of heads and intake for a 540.

Thanks John, I can only hope that I can get the rest of the car working as well as your and Davey's cars.

scott foxwell · Apr 26, 2013

This thing's a brute.

Congratulations to a good score. I am sure you going to have mutch fun with that engine. And it have same peak power that my pump gas 540 have to. But my give only 800hp. perhaps i have to small intake on it (edelbrock 2907 victor 454 r) What do you think?

Dart pro 1 heads 345 on it

Vinny V · Apr 28, 2013

first dyno sheet says pump gas.but .717 sg?

94ttss · Apr 28, 2013

There was pump gas left in the dyno tank from a previous session, we used what was in there for the initial break in and first pull before we filled the tank with c12. We weren't trying to establish pump gas numbers, just using what was left in the tank.

Mills588 · Apr 28, 2013

Great job guys... Wow! That'd be a killer motor to have for the best of both worlds. Street thumpin and 9 second passes! Now that's the shit! Makes me want to go back to pump gas.

Have fun!

Congrats to all involved on a nice, stout build.
