Steve Dulcich on building a budget 318

Two main problems arise when talking 318 performance, Velocity and Compression, for most it's simple add a 4bbl 600/650 and a cam 205 to 215 maybe headers, a stall and deeper gears would be nice and a good tune and if want a bit more power do something about the heads. Then the Velocity and Compression Police come along and make it a jumble of confusion for the OP on what to do and make it sound impossible to squeeze an extra 50-100hp out of a mild 318.
spray puts the comp police to bed
avg street 318 218@50 2.02 heads air gap 750 carb 150 shot of spray gets you 470 lb ft@4100 or so 450 hp @5500
tti headers 900 bucks 15 hp
spray 900 bucks 150 hp
pretty simple
