Hal;

Glad you made this post,I have often wondered how much if any hp engines would drop by with mileage.... Yours is a well built engine with top shelf parts and I suspect that has a lot to do with your engine lasting the way it has with the use and mileage you put on it,congrats to you................

Wish I had dynoe'd my enigne when I built it..... Since then,there is a dyno within one mile of my house and I occasionally swing by there on saturdays and check out what's bolted on,mostly dirt late model chebby engines from 350 to 425 cu in....Have seen one "gain" 70 hp on the dyno with changes to the carb-timing-plugs,just little changes that were very inexpensive,but added hp that the owner would have never found,just like in Hal's case....

Next engine will be a race engine and will see the dyno for sure.........
