HP on monday

And just to put an exclamation point on this whole 302 thing, a creative Stock racer would already be changing the head castings and intake (not really rare or hard to find pieces BTW) having a .020 thou thicker head gasket made and showing up at Indy calling it a 75 and losing 14 HP. And for you "upper classmen" that might not understand, in U/SA, that's 280 pounds! That's the same amount of weight that I can remove from my old 6 cyl. Nova to move from V to U and it's worth a half of a second in my car.
