See, here it is again, the mild 360 pulling 5500rpm with 10 psi makes 454
horse
at 4500 rpm. Factor in the 22% drive train loss and you get 355 horse at the
rear.
Now install the tighter convertor and rebuild kit for the xmsn and move that
loss
into the 13-14% area. That puts the power to 395 at the rear. That's why I
always
try to recommend the tranny area as the first performance upgrade area.
Sorry, just
rambling.......
