    I think I am going to pile my guess on AutoRoc's and say you need more compression then. Can you mill the heads a little and bump it up? Those TFS heads are pretty good and should tell you how many CC's you would remove as a function of every 0.005" milling (or something similar).

    Start milling the heads, then the intake ports start becoming misaligned the more you mill.Then you have to mill the intake faces of the intake itself. If he mills .010-.020 off the heads there shouldnt be any issues. But that would only net him 3cc or so. Maybe make an extra 5hp. Not worth it IMO unless the heads already have to come off. Then you could mill .040-.060 and re mill the intake manifold faces.

    Is the argument store? Worth it compared to what? Doing nothing?

    Arguement store? I would rather not go through the work and money to mill everything just to get a handful of HP. That's my opinion.

    Opinion noted. Now you can go back to talking about your SBC.

    It made about the equivalent of 470-490 crank hp. Builds i copied were about 540-580. And it was on lidios dyno which is somewhat generous.
    Hi,

    Just my 2 cents, but based on the size of the engine and the specs you have mentioned, it seems about right. How dose the car feel when you drive it? Are you feeling any flat spots where it wants to lay over power wise? What was your intended use for the car? I hate to see you pull it apart after having spent money on the tune etc. just to do it again. A gear change/tire change may get you to your goal on the cheap.

    This. See how you like it on the street. There's no point in Dyno racing. At the shop I recently left we had an engine Dyno. We were dynoing a BBC for some guy (we did not build it) and he was expecting 1000 hp. It made like 900 or something. He was so certain it should make 1000 ( because he duplicated some other guy's build) that he took the engine to another shop right by our shop and had it dyno'd there. The numbers were within 3-4. He was so pissed, wound up pulling apart the engine, changed a bunch of stuff, and it made another 40.

    I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying, drive it, enjoy it, have fun.
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......
