Let's put a mild 8.2:1 360 on the dyno.

The formula is easy: Buy what you honestly need, not what you want. That's why in a lot of cases I ask "why *** horsepower", or "what cars have [they] driven". Most people think they need more than they do, becuase the basic combos they have are so misunderstood and poorly tuned. One of the best take-aways from IQs dyno postings should be that: Match what you want to what you need, educate yourself to how to make these antiques run properly, and the results are there.

It's just to easy to make power now days especially once you get into power adders, eyes bigger than your belly type thing. Just a simple 4 bbl, mild cam, headers duals and some decent gears can you pretty far without spending a lot of $$$$$$$. Unless it's a race car 10 to 1 power ratio is a decent and easily attainable goal with just about any SB long block.

P.S. IQ52 keep up the good work showing they don't need to go crazy to get good resaults, to many people on here like spending others money, somebody ask about a simple cam swap for some extra power and next thing they got them talked into almost rebuilding there engine or swap it out. Leaving most discouraged.
