Scott,
The reason these guys don't believe the power numbers guys are quoting from small blocks is because these guys are not motorheads, gearheads, or racing fans of any kind.Anybody who has watched just one Nascar Winston cup race already knows what kind of power the Good Ol'e boys are extracting from those 358 cubes. I don't have to tell you the numbers but just in case one of them is lurking here I'll post some recent HP figures.
358 Craftsman truck motor 9.1 Comp. 390cfm carb. 550-600hp
358 Nascar Bush car 12-1 comp. 650-700hp
358 Winston Cup 14-1 comp 750-800hp
And they run all day at 7-9,000 rpm.
If these guys would ever read anything besides Shelby's History books they would learn something about modern Ford V-8's
Keep up the good work at the track and one of these days we will all get together and have a good time trashing the BB's Except for our pal McFez, One of the good running FE's
