225 on the pump

Yup, because its not easy to make them fast like a V8. More internal work needed, than bolt ons.

Yup and that one will be snappy. I am certain his numbers are conservative. All those mods and lower than stock torque. Ain't happenin. I've always said build the 225 for torque anyway. With a 4.125 stroke, that's what they're made for. This one's a good example.
