How does cid make power?

I disagree, much more complicated than that. And I'm not talking about a 7 second wonder that only runs the quarter mile at a time.

But the 4.50 will need a HUGE cross section intake port, a highly tuned exhaust port and cam timing to get there.

Not even a Pro Stock head can feed that at 10k. So you need to be looking at 9* MBE heads and things like that.

Plus, you’d have to look at BMEP and VE after peak torque.

The both of you are right and my comment is not in the example of 273’s use of everything, the top stock from one engine to the next for comparative purposes.

We must keep the stock heads for this talk and not the threads title and question!

No worries! Freiburger answered his question with a lie Print 598 stroker big block that used stock 454.
LMAO!!!!

But pay no attention to the second half of the episode.
