F54 torque?

Featured Replies

Hey Z people,

Can anyone out there tell me how much torque I can expect to get from this set up...

N42 head

F54 flat top pistons

HKS 2mm head gasket

Header 6-2 with a 21/2 inch exaust

SU carbs with SM needles

Electronic dizzy

I should be running about a 9.1 :1 compression ratio

Im not looking for exact numbers here im just interested in a ball park torque number. If anyone has ever dynoed a setup like this, that would be awsome.

Thanks, Matt

come on guys:ermm: no one has an idea on this one?

If your lucky and the set up is spot on, maybe... 180-200 hp. It all depends on the tune.

I just did a first pass on the dyno for my car, same setup as you but triple Mikunis:

so far 114 rwhp, 212fp torque but prob another 10% to come once timing sorted.

thanks guys that's the info i was looking for. Bruce, shouldn't your RWHP be a lot more than 114? With 212 ft lbs of torque I would think you would have somewhere around 180 RWHP:ermm:

Right on dude's

P.S. Bruce, do you have a dyno sheet I can take a look at?
