Funny how people are stuck to that 400 hp number, 300-375 hp is basically down to cam choice on a stock headed 360 and for the most part can getaway with stock convertor and gears and even low cr but just that next step now need a built motor with ported or aftermarket head, stroke it cause might as well and build up the rest of the driveline to match $$$$.

Exactly that Lol. I had a 70 Dart with a 360 magnum pretty close to the old 380HP crate motors they used to sell. Now i just want More. haha.

I suppose for me it's because the HP Numbers of brand new cars keeps skyrocketing. I want to be able to keep up with joe blow rich douchebag who went and bought a brand new Hemi Challenger or Camaro SS and thinks hes King **** because he had more money to spend than the rest of us. Something mighty satisfying about seeing those guys with $80,000 cars
get walked by someone in a "shitbox" with 10K in motor work.
