Does anyone know the specs on that engine, Cubic inch, compression, cylinder heads, flow etc? If it's the car I think it is, those guy's have been honing that combo for quite awhile and it shows.

Outside of Comp Eliminator and Pro Stock I don't think there are allot of engines making in excess of 1.8 to 2.0 HP per cube NA. Most of the 632 Chevy's I have worked with only make around 1.8 to 1.85 per cube. Some of them have made 1.9, but that's not the norm. Not saying that there are not some that make more than that, but most do not. I would say most engines put together by the owner or the average engine builder only make around 1.4 to 1.6 HP per cube NA. Some of the guys that have kept their original combo and continue to work it will get up around 1.8, but most guy's are to impatient to work the combo until it has been maxed out.
