Re: hp estrimate again.
The biggest thing that guys overlook in a conversation/thread like this is tuning. You can have the best parts on earth but if an engine isn't tuned you might only be making 75% of what it could. Air/fuel ratio, timing along with timing advance curve, jets, etc all play a vital roll in getting everything out of your engine. For instance I had a very nice 1970 Mach 1 mustang come by a few weeks ago. The car ran smooth down the road but was gutless. I spent a couple hours adjusting the carburetor and timing and it went from 180 rear wheel hp to 265 hp. The motor was brand new, carb was brand new, everything freshly assembled by a custom builder but they had just bolted the parts together and called it good.
