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.

This was a great point in time, as it was a return to some High-Performance fun!

Gen-1 SBCs with worked-over Vortec Cylinder-Heads were making an easy 450 - 500 Horsepower!
With the Corvette of the time making 300 - 350 HP...
Vortec 350s were a ton of fun (as HP had been lacking since the early 1970s).

I've done AFB's years ago, but I've never opened a quadrajet.
