Where do yo want more power ? Where is it lacking most now, low mid high ? If it's down low, there's probably not much to be gained besides CR and gears if you want more than that in the low and mids, cid is the best way, mids and high cylinder heads is probably gonna give the best return...

I highly doubt it apparently he's shopping for a car for a few years, while asking the whole time how to hop a 318 over and over again for the eventual purchase but guess now were moving on up to a 360 for this year, maybe next year we graduated to big blocks :)

Don't forget a 500 cfm carb, can't make good torque without it.

A sensitivity of 90 db, is 90 db at 1 meter with 1 watt, so 1 meter basically listening position in a car, going 10 x to 10 watts gives you a 100 db, going 10 x again a 100 watts equals 110 db, can't really go up another 10x's and doubling to 180 watts only gives you a just noticeable change in...

Adding speakers does a similar thing, generally you only do that with subs multiple fronts add phasing issues. Basically getting 10 db louder can also be done by 10 times the speakers and every 3 db by doubling the speakers adding a port also gives 3 db. So going from one seal sub to 4 subs in a...

The speakers sensitivity is important spec especially for fronts that generally can't handle crazy power which is a problem since loudness (db) and an amps wattaged ain't linear. Loudness is rated in db, 3 db is considered a barely noticeable change in volume 6 db is a very noticeable change...

Doing a 360 now ?

Lot easier to manipulate gross numbers.

He said there like $100,000 engines, I'm guessing well over half for a pair completed heads with rockers.

A separate amp is almost alway gonna be better and louder than the head unit built in amp, It’s relatively way easier to get volume out of subs than the front end, especially if powering the front from the deck.

The other main thing that held the factory 360 and even 318 back was cylinder heads. The reason 273 & 340 were the factory revvers, is that they had similar head flow per cid, if 318 came standard with the 1.88 360 head and 360 came with something like an SM or Edlebrock heads they all would...

Yes I understood all that when I watched the video, I just found it interesting to basically spend $50,000 + per engine plus all the R&D just to extend the rpm of the shift points a few hundred plus rpms but I get why though.
