Very interesting. I wonder what he raised the compression to.

the compression is probably going to depend on the cam, but i am figuring probably in the 10.5 - 11 range. giving him a descent dynamic compresion with your average midrange torque cam

I don't think that motor is making that much power with those heads and stock TBI unit and tune. Just look at the pics and you can see the pushrod guides are clearly in the way of the intake ports and look just plain old smog heads. Because of that I doubt they have a cam with over .480 lift. Not saying that it is a horrible motor but just not at the performace they claim it at.

Even if it doesn't push out QUITE those numbers that still looks like a good deal to me for the price!
