Thanks Dick.
That's the level of detail that helps.
I ran your combo in the Gonkulator I wrote- what is becoming my "standard 265/225" now Gonkulates at about 290-300hp gross at 6000 or so. Fat cam, loose clearances, etc. I hit the 94+ mph on the 1st computer run, but I had to use a 4000 stall and about a 5.36 gear to get down to your 14.27 ET.
Sound about right?
Agreed, pretty much if it says "69 Chev" it means 350/255hp/LM1 - factored already to 270hp but still strong.
