Older combo's had more potential, new stuff is putting out a lot of hp/cube as it is and in this case there is no aftermarket support. This is 1.15hp/cube, older combo's started out around .65-.75 and you built it to 1.15.(that's 402hp for a 165hp 350 or 365hp for a 180hp 318 or 347hp for a 143hp 302)
Should've been 230 or less to get it out there, then hit with ahfs as it's run.

It's 227 cubes and while it's not a 2bbl 6 from the old days, at .65-.75 it would of been 147-170hp. 260 is a bit much imho.

(course we're bitching the new stuff isn't in the guide, now that it is, we're bitching about the hp! LOL!)
