I totally agree Kuk. And the number is correct on the 395 for the 360. I
wonder if anyone would catch that. Unfortunately the 4.7 would produce more
since the drive train lose is lower versus the 318 or the 360. (Here we go
again-flame on!!!) It was the same numbers that Golder West reported back
from the test truck on the Dyno running 10PSI.

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.......
