Is 426ci 360 a small block?
Switching to the TTI headers gained us 12 HP peak and 1 lb-ft and 1 hp average gain from 3000-6000 rpm. And they only cost an additional $520.
So we switched carbs from the 850 Mighty Demon (column 1) to 1050 RS Race Demon (column 2) and then the last pull of the day w/ 2" spacer (column 3).

I call it a 426 because it sounds better, but is actually 4.042" bore by 4.125 stroke for 423.5 ci, The dog is now only making 1.41 hp/ci on 91 octane.
