This is for a '71 Elky on Ebay. The guy says it has a warmed up 383 stroker. I'll admit I've not seen a lot of dyno sheets, but this looks odd the way the torque falls off so quickly at low RPMs - obviously hurts HP figure. What's wrong with this?

Not too sure about that engine, the dyno results don't look right to me either.

Looks a little weak for a 383. 205Hp? :?
Doesn't appear to be tuned very well....What type of intake and carb was it listed to have?

Here's what he says about the motor:
"...engine equipment includes a brand new Holley 750 vaccuum secondary carberator with the silver finish, Edelbrock Perfromer alimunum intake manifold with a 1" phenolic spacer, a MSD 6AL ignition box, new Mallory HEI distributor with module removed (The 6AL box controls when it sparks, the HEI is only used for the coil and magnetic pickup), headers, Erson Gear Drive (it's a quiet one, just enough sound to let you know what lies beneath), Erson valve covers and two piece timing cover. Car has 2 chamber flowmasters with pipes that run over the axle and then out behind the rear wheel."
Doesn't mention the cam, but definitely seems like it should have more power.

That was going to be the next question...

It looks like:
A) That's not a 383. If it is, it's a choked 383
B) The HP and Torque markings have been switched. Torque/HP always cross at 5250 RPM, and looks like they/he reversed the HP and Torque text.
It does have a lot of torque down low though.

even if they crossed the hp and tq levels its still wrong , seams like its not tuned correctly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone needs to go back to school for tuning a motor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
