422 dyno fail

I recently did this very thing went from 360 to 418.
swapped headers, cam, intake, carb, convertor, trans, etc over from 360 to 418
only difference was the 418 had more compression.
went from 11.26 to 10.77 ET. Half a second is a lot.
that is a whole bunch more than 34 horsepower.
I talked to Ken Hensley years ago about this( owner of Hensley performance, well known Mopar engine shop), and he said, all things being the same, he sees 3 to 4 tenths in ET going to the stroker. I have found that to be true in several combinations.
I suspect my 5 tenths in this case was the extra compression.
:thumbsup: Probably picked up 60 -70 Hp, but lowered the HP per cubic inch number by a tad.
The 418 with more compression will likely respond well if you decide to make a few changes.
5 tenths is very respectful for just adding cubes and a little compression.
