I figured that with "Uncle Tony" tuning, there could be 50 extra HP there.

I said 690 to 750 hp, where as others were guessing in the 800 HP+ range

Like I said, the compression ratio bothered me.

PROBIRD missed the RPM as did I, as I thought it also would be in the 6500 range.

Still a 700 plus horsepower engine with low compression at only 468 CID is a strong
Pontiac engine. I think the best that Marty P ever got NA was 735 hp with a 473 engine
so you are in good company.

Yep, PROBIRD gets the "honey baked ham" on this dyno guess contest.

Nice engine power on pump gas!!! Fun street ride or race car? Sorry, I'm new here and don't know what everyone has. Whatever you put it in should fly!

Sounds like a good solid build that will last with little maintenance.

Congrats Brad!

Once you get it in the car we can review you info and do a final tune for the street.

That way you can drop down on your primary jet size and go back to using a PV...providing you have vacuum.

Do you know what the engine had for vacuum at idle?
