And 79 on the exhaust.

Definately an "old school" cam grind.

I haven't had the car out in the last month as I've been rather busy and honestly I haven't really been itching to drive it knowing we need to tear into it. I had a chance to drive Pman1961's car Tuesday night and it was awesome! It is a 445 Windsor that made 611hp and 599tq. There was considerable more power over the entire RPM range than my motor. I've now got to decide how much more powerful I can make the Windsor or just take the big block dive and be done with it. I can already see that I would want at least as much power as the 445 setup and woudn't be against having more. Keeping a hydraulic roller I'm not sure how much more potent the Windsor can get without taking it to the edge. The big block route would definelty be more expensive but not as expensive as investing in the current setup and it not having enough for you....decisions decisions. I think the turbo hayabusa and the twin screw moduar motors have ruined me with the feel of too much power over the years!
