Thanks Matt.
 
Here's the video to one of the actual runs. The guy had it set to accelerate 300RPM every second, and he shut down at around 6500. The red LED tach you see is lagging behind, and the guy is actually going by an analog meter.

Nice Larry!  The video is awesome.  Wish I had done that at my dyno run.

I hope to get better numbers after it's in the car and we can work with the carburetor some. The guy running the dyno took my carb off and put a custom job that was on the shelf on my engine and picked up 17 more horses without any tweaking (469hp). I just can't afford custom stuff like that though.
 
BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running L78 heads. Although I did get the heads rebuilt, I did not have any porting or polishing done.
