This is the type of info I was looking for. Especially those that are lamenting not getting enough power and wanting to go to a stroker with more HP & Torque.

I'm looking at my options for an engine. I've pretty much written off using the local builder, for the quote I got was more expensive than a Roush 342R! I'm comparing the cost/hp from a Ford Crate 302 to a KC 331 through to a Roush 342R. Big jump in ROI from a Ford crate to a KC 331. I'm thinking a Roush 342R would probably be less "streetable" than the KC 331. I've got a spreadsheet comparing these along with the added components cost to get them all on the same playing field, so to speak.

Another question: For those that moved from single four-barrel to 4-48 IDA Webers, how bad did the gas mileage get after the changeover? Or was there a change?
