Took it to Tim Schwanke this afternoon and did 3 quick pulls on a dyno jet dyno. It made 329.1 HP @6500 and 299.3 ft lbs @ 5200 rpms. He was pretty impressed that it was a stock stroke Cleveland and was streetable. The HP curve is flat from about 6300-6900 rpms and then it fell off when it hit my rev limiter at about 7200 rpms. I'm very happy with the results.

congratulations on the dyno results , it feels good when someone who knows what they are doing gets results for you doesn't it .it doesn't say much for the other dyno operator there is a 60 horsepower difference there , i would have thought your motor would have made more than that though i know a very similar combo that made 410 plus .
I still reckon there something wrong there my mates xd falcon with ported 2v heads, hyd roller camshaft with 560thou lift and 236 @ 50 duration, xcellerator manifold standard ignition, standard stroke and choking exhaust ( genie interference extractors and twin 2" ) put out 337rwhp at formula tech the other day i would have expected his to go 350rwhp+ and yours to be in the 370-400rwhp range???
Awesome sounding truck man. Was the exhaust dropped?
It seeemed to make revs very quickly. Was there any load on the dyno?
The full exhaust was still on it. I've had two different mufflers on it since I got the 3" with tailpipes put on it and it is just plain loud. Not sure why, but it is. And yeah, there was a load on the dyno, I'm not sure how much of a load he was putting on it, but it was enough to make my truck work at getting those drums to really spin.
