Paul...that was my car with a 418W stroker, built by Neil Ruegsegger in Danville, CA. The motor has Edelbrock Vic Jr heads and intake, ported, polished, port and gasket matched and flowed on Neil's flow bench. CR is 10.83:1, Holley 850 modified by Jet Performance. Cam is a hydraulic roller with Crane shaft mounted roller rockers. .565 lift on intake at 232 duration and .552 on the exhaust at 242 duration on 110 degree lobe centers. Heads were flowed to 303 cfm at .550 intake valve lift for maximum velocity and cfm.

Other than that, the rest of the horsepower came from Neil's drive for perfection during design, machine work, perfect balancing of all the rotating assembly, flywheel and clutch included, not to mention his assembly procedures. No stone left unturned with Neil. By the way, the motor was still making HP at 6k rpm, but since it only has 400 miles on it, we errored on the side of safety here and waved the motor off at 6k.
