David Vizard bench flows a BBD 2bbl

I would be FAR more interested if these "gurus" would take your typical set of parts from a decent buildup and show real world ways to make more power. MOST guys building up an engine for their hotrod, doing it themselves and with a reasonable budget, will be able to achieve a nice 400-475 hp with bolt on parts. I'd like to see them take that setup, and show us "normal dudes" what changes to make so we take that 400-475 hp engine and make it a 475-550 hp engine. That would be interesting to me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Totally agree--100%
Things I don't understand about this endevour.

1. Why limit yourself to a tiny 2bl? Just use a good 4bl and test with the stupid 2bl at the end and marvel at how it lost 70-90hp.
2. Why state from the outset "all stock parts"? That was just dumb/naive and probably just hyperbole to get us on the hook--which we are

The above quote is the camp I'm in. As stated it really isn't all that hard to get 400+hp with some nice realistic parts and normal machine work. These gurus should be in a position to show us how to get a gnarly hi-revving 500+hp with their skill set divulging REAL techniques whether "secret" or just hyper-attention to detail. As it stands this 300hp goal is asinine and fruitless. J.Rob
