EngineMasters Episode 21 408/410 stroker w/ported heads

This is typical.

First, they changes the intake and didn't make the carb smaller (like they should have) and they should have changed the cam. It's a system.

On the ported heads, they used an offset rocker. For all the bullcrap work they did, they could have done a W-2 and been better off.

Now I need to watch the rest of it.

I'm not totally agreeing with you on this. While you are 100% correct on the "system" being off, it would be more so pointless to go to a smaller carb to get the best out of the (mis matched) combo only to go to the bigger carb they ended up with.

The bottom line is it is a approx. 1/2 hour show or general information for the general public. You can nit pick it apart all you want but is still a good show with good information.
