2.875 per inch is bad ass, but it is not 3.0 per inch which on a 400 is a difference of 50 very expensive and time consuming horsepower to find on an engine like that! The 3.07 number per inch that was thrown out would require another 29 horsepower to be picked up,again.... by NO means a small feat! On a 358" engine the difference between 2.875 to 3.07 is 70 horsepower! In terms of engines like this, that is no mole hill, that is a mountain!
