Bill Farmer Dismuke would have cared.

Yeah right Ed,
As I recall many of our mutual friends and fellow racers with 327/275 Chevies and 340/275 Mopars, and 351/285 Fords wondered the exact same thing in 1993.
I often wondered how GM could pull 30 HP more out of those with only a hood change?
I even asked Danny Gracia that same question.
Next time we see each other I will tell you what he said.
