688 miles into the new motor and the Sniper is still learning and I’m trying to make sure it thinks fast

Cam won’t give me one.
Can you imagine the Warthog exploding out of thin air into a dealer’s lot in 1977, a wild-eyed Nolen at the wheel, skidding to a stop?

Yes, yes I can!!
Did you do 88 with 7 husky men in the truck? That is the real test.

The big question everyone asks... "how much power does the HiPo 4.4 2F make"?
My answer: “No idea. More than a stock motor. It will spank it in a drag race.”
So today, we can finally answer the question. Nolen brought the Warthog up so we could run it on a wheel dyno. Those numbers by themselves would be useless, so I borrowed a stock FJ60 from a kind gentleman here in town to use as some sort of baseline.

Before we can get to the Warthog, go watch this video of the 60 on the dyno. I’m not sure if this has ever been done before. Because... why would you want to?
The 60 (like most stock 2Fs) doesn’t really respond to rpm much. It makes its power right out of the gate, and then you shift whenever you want because it doesn’t matter. Many people are even afraid to rev past 3000 rpm.
The Warthog, on the other hand, DGAF...

Clearly not afraid to rev past 3K. In fact, power keeps building quite strongly until 4300 rpm.

The 60 puts down a solid 68 horse power to the rear wheels, with 150 ft-lbs of torque.
The Warthog (as you heard), spun the big ass rollers with more authority. It topped out at 119 horses and 166 ft-lbs.

That's it...
I'm putting an ls in my keeper...
Those numbers are quite good for a 2f tho...

More telling are the graphs. In stock form, the torque peaks at 1800 rpm, and drops like a brick. HP is pretty flat, with a gentle peak at 2800 rpm, which is why most people are eager to upshift by 3K - it just feels wrong to push it any further.
With the HiPo 4.4, the torque curve is relatively flat and doesn’t drop below the stock’s peak until 4000 rpm
HP, on the other hand, just keeps climbing until you run out of courage. We ran it out to 4650 here.
In the real world, this translates to being able to merge with traffic and pass slower traffic, even at speed. And with a little cushion if you need to rev it up to 4500 because you’re trying to beat the semi headed toward you in the oncoming lane.
