Ole is a figure of speech that I believe is used to say "Look at this Guy". Not old. If I wanted to call Larry old, I would have used the word, Old. Also, if someone went fast enough to get your same engine 12 more hp in your car, should it not be just as fast in a smaller car with a shorter wheelbase and a 150 lb less shipping wt? Which is it, Is it fast enough to get hp or is nobody running one because they can’t make them work? I did go off of the 390 factor, and just realized that is the Stick version, so your right it’s at 405 in auto. So how did it get to 405 in auto, but stay 390 in stick? I really have no clue, but I can only assume somebody went fast with one.
Larry decided to call out a combo that in no way needs more Hp, and did it under the guidelines of fixing the ahfs. There are about 150 other combo's out there that need it before this one, but he chose the 396 because it barely went over a second under in two very rare and unfair circumstances by two really, really fast 396's. He did it only because it’s self serving. If he is going to uselessly call out a combo, I'm going to call him on it. Sorry?
