The people whose combos aren't "blessed" with replacement blocks,heads(iron AND aluminum), intakes and carbs.

The people whose combos are carb, intake or cylinder head restricted. These people are making the same or slightly more HP while still being stuck with, mostly, the same HP factor while all of the combos that DO benefit from all of the above "enhancements" complain that the indexes are too soft.
I can build your brother's combo without using a single part that Chevrolet ever installed on a STOCK (meaning original) 402/375 including the intake and the carb!
