Weep? I don't think so. I might open a bottle of bubbly?
I guess my trip to Reynolds paid off.
That and a bunch of prayers. LOL
Now it's on to the combo class.

I wonder who had the brass balls to get HP off a Cobra Jet, even if it is the puny one?

That would be me. Chad
Its not that good of a SS combo even at 229HP. Their is very little room for HP gains over the STK eliminator engine. A good SS 281 motor may make around 480-490 HP(which is only 50 or so more HP then a stocker one), maybe even 500 with the right cams. a good running 283 like Robbin browns makes well over 500 HP. Which is rated around 225 to 230 I think.

283/220 is rated at 237(I run that same combo just nearly as fast as Robin!)

I agree, if Ed was asking it would be for more than 7, lol.
