Before going around saying the sky is falling, it’s always good to make sure it’s not just a little rain. Even if the 255 combo becomes rated higher than the 300, I think a good set of 441 heads will outperform a set of good 461, 186, or 041 heads.

Okay I think your rounding it off and I may need help figuring this out. (I’m a super-gas racer and building a stocker) and I wanted to get this math figured correctly.
If his 1.127 holds as the fastest run and the average is .850 or better he gets 2.25% hit on the 280hp base or 6.3hp that I think is rounded up to 7hp? Then 11.00 x 287 + 170 new weight of 3327 or + 77lbs?
Thanks
