You're so right Ron, check out any v6 or inline 6 ford in the truck section. The inline 300 is at 190hp, I tried to get it lowered last year and was denied. Look at the 302 in another truck at 215, which has approved rods/pistons/etc there is no comparison.

20% would take it to 152, it was originally at 155 with a carb and no doubt will make more than that with FI, but it would be incentive to build it. I would suspect after being hit (maxed out) it would end up around 175-180. Cubic $$$ will only take it so far, I don't see it ever hitting 190 or more.

The 2bbl 302 got some new cars built, but have they "took over the world" like some on here predicted? No, it was a good "proof in concept" of the idea and it worked. More cars were built and the ones that were pushed hard were corrected...kinda exactly like a win-win right??

I really like the idea.
