You learn something new everyday. How long will an LA small block hold up at 550 horsepower

think Indy claimed they went 306 cfm max back in the day.
the real test is what ET MPH and
weight did the car they were in run.
the Bloomer heads, which aren’t offset and are factory replacement heads have actually made around that power at the track, not just a dyno.

“Using a 2.08 valve, getting 315cfm out of eddys is common for us....Indybrock will go 320. Our Indy's can go 350cfm...”

It's not my duty to make sure the car goes the number...that's on the racer. If the car sucks, or is sub par...not my problem. I can't hold everyone's hand. I do offer advice to our customers, again maybe they follow it...maybe they don't.
Converters seem to be the biggest problem with cars not running good #'s with a known HP engine. See this way too much! A buddy of mine running a Ford had me do his heads and intake, car slowed down...I kept telling him to check rpm at trap...never would. But I somehow got the blame for it slowing down...until he changed engines (more power) and it went even slower! That's when he wised up and changed converter/trans and car came to life...it is what it is.
