Yeah a stock baseline is moot I see that now. actually Nicks garage ran a stock 340 (or it looked stock) and I think he got 335 or 340 horse out of a pull. So I guess I'm saying it's already documented about what you could get in a stock configuration. So that leads to the question where would the starting point be? what configuration or setup?
before Nick got famous he made 390 hp 420 tq on a stock head 340 i have the dyno sheet somewhere , but it has been a long time and many engines back in 2010 before he made videos of every pull
