It's interesting to look back in the magazines and reread the articles that were relevant when I got back into the hobby.
In 2000, 400 HP and a 12 second streeter were considered a big hammer. My heap hasn't changed all that much but the times sure have.

Vortec 350s were a ton of fun (as HP had been lacking since the early 1970s).
