Making power out of the 318

Dan the man said
How about a test and tune this summer? No aftermarket cylinder heads, no custom ground cams, bowl clean up no gasket matching, 3 angle valve job allowed, back cutting the valve's allowed. Factory ignition. No headers. 318 engine

that would entail you actually, you know, getting a car.

which, no worries about you losing this little side bet because you aren't gonna have a car by then anyway.
