I had recently dynoed my sbf 445 and i thought i would share the results.

4.100 crank
6.250 rod
4.155 bore
Victor 7721 heads
15 to 1 compression
nasty solid roller set up for NOS
Super Victor
1450 cfm carb.
Moroso Vacume pump.

Considering that i blew the head gasket on the 8th pull and continued on, motor made 799 hp @ 7100 rpm & 633 tq. & 6100 rpm. I know the motor has more, but the motor was not sealing on the outside due to oil leaks and the vacume pump would not pull as much vacume. Also, that's with a Nos cam , which i made N/A pulls on the dyno.

I used the fel pro 1046 gasket and it appearred that the gasket leaked out on the top side og the gasket, near the edge. I don't know what caused it, but i recently put a set of the fel pro mls gaskets on there.

Those MLS gaskets are even worse!!
Do it right, get the block and heads cut for 0-ring's and reciever grooves, and run a dead soft copper gasket.
If its blowing gaskets on just the motor pulls, imagine whats gonna happen when you push that button.
The 0-ring and copper gasket deal will handle anything you can throw at it.

I actually had the copper titan gasket onhtere at first, but notice that the bore of the gasket was hanging over the cylinder a hair. both were 4.155 bore. I have not crank the motor yet with the mls, but if they don't work, i will definitely go to o-ring. That crossed my mind a hundred times before this,

Just a little fyi (at least it happened to me). I used to run copper head gaskets with 0 ringed block. Still wanted to poop past. (and wasn't even running juice back then).

And trust me, it had GREAT machine work performed............
