And I'm not saying they won't run decent, I'm saying if they make say 300 hp rebuilt just slapped together, they could make 320 to 350 rebuilt with everything perfect. I was made a believer on torque plate honing with my r/s car. Ok, one more example and then my class is dismissed, lol. I run r/s, we have to run a stock cam, flat top pistons, no portwork, tfs or edelbrock heads, edlebrock performer or TFS street heat, 70mm tb and 80 mm m/a, also allowed 1.7 rockers. So anyway, most guys with those mods make what, 250 or so? Maybe 280? mine made 280 and I got lots of props from my buds. Anyway, I did two things, one I will tell you, I had my block torque plate honed and used the studs I was using for the engine for the torque plate process, instead of just using the bolts the plate came with. I put the car on the dyno, now mind you there was one other thing I figured out and tried, but basically this is a rebuilt 306, it made 315 on the dyno. rwhp. two small details that netted 35 hp. It is making a little more than that now all motor. And on the spray, ooooohhhh, it's pretty. That graph goes nearly straight up!</p></blockquote><p></p>
