I’m not much into dyno numbers.

I'll tell you an example, my first pull on my 471 was 601 hp, with dyno tuning it's putting out 682 today. That's incremental small changes with air bleeds, pv's, main jets, transfer slot restrictors, timing changes, distributor curve work, header change, and every time one thing was changed almost everything else needed to be changed.
I'm not bragging at all, just pointing out what Dyno tuning can accomplish.
You may have to do some tweaking when you get to the racetrack.
How long would it have taken you to get from where you started to where you are now if you had to do all that tuning at the race track?
