Anyone build a high RPM 273 using 2.02 size head?

I was curious so I ran your numbers on the Wallace Calculator. That car should weigh around 2600#. 104 mph @ 2600# =225.6 hp.
Now the other way around, 12.8 sec. @ 2600# = 245.4 hp. I would think the 245.4 is the more accurate of the two.

Actually the car was heavier, I think about 2700 (model 200, 4 dr sdn) and I weighed about 170lbs. Also I'm not sure of the MPH. I do remember the ET though. Your talking about 40 years, ago. Also, if I remember correctly, I was geared too deep (I think that's why I tried the bigger valve heads, to get a little more RPM), and it might have been 108mph, but not sure.
