Just a few years ago it was 8hp difference with an intake on a small block stocker. If someone is getting much more than that I would love to see it in tec at Indy.
Using the 15 hp number to go .7 you would need to pick up 105hp. That would be 97 hp from head minus the intake. I think I use one of the best out there but if you have someone that can get me 100 hp from a set of heads please let me know. BP

Sorry for any confusion. I originally put .07 but like someone said earlier in a post it's 7 tenths you pick up with heads and an intake. I do still stand by my statement if you pick up anywhere near 7 tenths from a good set of heads and intake you better stop going to the lawn mower shop for your machine work. BP Thanks Bill for catching it. Trying to do to many things at the same time.
