Almost a 9% increase in HP for that low performing 440.  Not bad at all.

Hmmm, my calculator says 3-5%.

Yep, I agree with you. It's actually almost right at 5%. That was my poor attempt at mental math.

Whats the real gain over manifolds? My rough opinions:

Bone stock- 5 hp
mild (mild cam, intake etc)- 10-15
Drag- (choppy cam, heads etc) 15-25
Race- (full build, 12:1, big heads, big solid roller etc) 30+

There, thats my opinion


thats based on everything running optimal!

I figured that was a given. Maximun output doesnt come without a little tuning.
