'A-Body Showdown' ~ 273 'Commando' vs. 318 2-Barrel

I know you like math, but in real life, that's not how it happens. I shift at 5,500 and only drop to 4,500, still in the power band. X 2. 318 with it's 2 barrel holding it back, is stuck at 4,400 and down to something lower. Commando is easily past, Not theoretical, I had both. The 318 2 barrel does not make 230 hp and is not competitive in stock class racing against 4 barrel motors.
