Chris, This is a good question, I have turned the motor around 6400 before an the car ran 11.40-50's and now with a new cam an other changes the car runs 11.20-30's at 6100-6200. I guess my best reason for less RPM : 1000gram piston/pin,3.900 stroke, valve train failure, Buick is known for it's torque(an taking grandma to church on sunday)lol plus more RPM does not always mean more Hp?? I guess?

Don, When I started bracket racing in 1977 then Stock in 78 with my 67 Buick 400 GS, I bought alot of parts from KenneBell and got some good information and some not so good!

I played with a odd fie 231 for a short time then turned it into a daily driver and have to admit the oiling system mods and timing info were pretty good, also the Chrome headers and the ring gear spacer for the 7.5 ring gear were pretty "wicked" too lol. Don Jackson
