Pete seems to do more extensive work with a 37mm port and I would doubt that there is an honest 50HP hiding in those housings.... hence this tread...

In addition my using Pete's model runner size as my guide, and Pete later phased my cams slightly as well, the whp was 432.

I'll let you do the math, but the porting and headers and (stock cams) phasing resulted in a HUGE improvement in performance - significantly greater than a paltry 50 hp. So, what am I missing here???
