Davin heads down to Apex Competition Engines to dyno our freshly rebuild race car engine. After doing a few pulls on the dyno to get baseline
HP and torque numbers, he then begins to make incremental upgrades to the top end of the engine to see how much more power we can squeeze from this hunk of iron. Upgrades include headers, electronic ignition, new intake manifold and carburetor, and finally some roller rockers to finish things off.
