1963 Max Wedge Horsepower

Can someone tell me why I see the 64 low compression max wedge is 403 hp and nothing noting the 63 car with the same motor? Any help thanks.

The smaller cam, smaller carbs low comp 63 is 409 HP

Thanks Paul - I understand what low compression 63 max wedge is 409 hp with the small carbs but how is it that the high comp 13.5 with 2 750 carbs can get hp off and nothing for the low comp cars - that's what I don't understand. I thought the cam was the same in both engines.

If you're coming to the Grove this weekend maybe we can talk and you can clue me in on a couple things.

Thanks
