What would it take to make 1.44 lbs-ft per cid ?

Robinson Analytical overcomes an impossibly small budget to build a 435hp pump-gas Olds 307 for the Engine Masters Challenge.

Ooops.....they filled in the ports and only got 1.34 lbs-ft per cid and with only 195 peak cfm.

Its also making 2.23 HP per cfm of airflow with a port cc of 145 cc........Its very EFFICIENT
It is a pretty cool little engine but if you look at the power curve every 500 rpms there's a solid hp gain from 2500 to 5000 rpms and then it basically flatlines to 6500 rpms the engine could obviously use more head flow in the real world. (outside the contest)
