oh, you heard this one before!
Is this going the direction of the following:

Yes. Exactly the way it’s going. Thread officially off the rails. And I must say it’s very enjoyable.
Everyone like to spend our time differently.

And if you put my mind to it can fix anything, since my dad's a TV Repair Man. He's got an assume set of tools I can borrow..........
Yes but on your own you can only gather so much data, everything we know is built off what others have done before us.
shows what you know!
me and my army of monkeys with typewriters will soon crack the code of 450hp 318's that have ALL the power under the curve regardless of gearing choices, cost pennies to build with easy to get parts and be stone ax reliable all while not needing to rev about 5200rpm
it's but one of many of the services i offer!
The xe268h only made 39 hp over the stock 340 cam, (it was making 353 hp before the swap) if you got good heads intake carb headers etc.. and the only thing holding it back is cam then yes your gonna get good gains with a decent cam swap, it's not magic
LOL keep trying... stock 340's off the assembly line weren't 10.5:1 If they were 9.7, you got a decent one.
Mazz built that engine. You have no idea what was done to it. Any clean up porting on the heads, std or offset adjustable rockers corrected for ratio. Not knowing the small details makes it a loose guess as to why it made that hp level. Anyone that has raced and built stuff to the small details knows what a difference getting the TRUE rocker ratio/lift at the actual valve creates. The typical ratio of 1.43 using stamped rockers and shitty pushrod angles are rough on SBM engines.

All it says to me with those 5+ examples that a similar 318-360 with decent prepped factory heads probably gonna make mid to high 300 hp on a westech dyno.

Just wanna chime in...
its not JUST the 60 plus hp, look at the comparison, it made more power EVERYWHERE! That's usable power!
Also, I installed the exact same 268H grind in my 383, it's an absolutely amazing cam!!!
Who's with me!

My take on this is, how many other improvements can you bolt on that gives you a 65 hp gain for $1500 with such a little cam? NOS is all that comes to mind. NOS also requires the bottom end of the engine beefed up to live so that has to be factored in
Did that in the 1980 maybe not 5200 but close

I have used the XE 268 in a warm 340 and it was lazy below 2000-2200 rpm. From 2500 rpm and up it
was very fast and at high speeds the power seemed unlimited. I was running 3.23 gears and 25560R15's
I prefer smaller cams for daily drivers... they pull so much harder from idle up and are way more fun to drive.
I never drag race.

That's thing about customizing your car, your tailoring it to your needs, some don't care as much what happens under 2,500 rpms especially with a 2,500-3,000+ rpm stall and some gears and others it's obviously a big deal for them.
It was the Jensens that made the car. Admit it, it's true.
i see "street hemi cam" or "hemi grind" thrown around a lot, and it seems that the specs are always ambiguous. would you happen to know what that one was?
