How Gearing Effects HP from 1-3rd in 727's

No offence OP, this may come across as grouchy but you need to stay away from anything that requires mathematical calculations. Just stop.

Let's break this down.

You say you gained 170 lb/ft at 2600 rpm for a gain of 84hp by sticking a homemade device under the carburetor.

You claim that it was an increase of 35% over the same engine without your device.

84hp is 35% of 240hp

240hp @2600rpm = 485lb/ft

That's already impossible for ANY naturally aspirated 360, much less a mild one. and it's before your device SUPPOSEDLY added an additional 35%!

SO NOW WITH THE DEVICE.

485 + 35% is 654 lb/ft @ 2600 rpm.

654 lb/ft at 2600 rpm in a mild 360.

That's 324hp... At cruising speed. From a mild 360. Get real!

I can believe that an off it's chain race spec 408 could make 650lb/ft at 4500-5000rpm. But a mild 360 at 2600? what you're claiming is an actual miracle. Totally impossible. Wrong wrong wrong.

Check your maths.

Better yet, get someone else to check it for you. You obviously can't get it right. Coz it's definitely a loooooong way off.
