I agree, I picked up 52 lbs of TQ going from a stock stroke 360 to a 4 inch stroke R3 block and went from 4.88s to a 4.10 gear with 60fts staying the same, less rpm top end with same results. another way to look at it : my 363 made 549 hp / 450 tq , 11 1/2 to 1 comp on race gas...my 408 made 539 hp / 552 tq, 9 1/2 to 1 comp on 93 octane pump gas
