increase HP on a 273

I was just over at a couple of Chevy sites. Those guys do just what we all do to make horsepower. Lots of compression, lots of camshaft, lots of head work,
and lots of money. There were also a lot of stories about them being built in the late 50's and 60's. Lots of talk about 12.5/1 pistons, 550 lift cams, and dual quads and multiple carbs. Lots of big number estimates of horsepower output without dyno time to back it up.You need to decide how far you want to go to get the results you need for your car. I never wanted to build a 500 hp / 273 for my Dart. That's why I picked the E-4 cam. It will work best for what I need. I spend most of my time between idle and about 4500 rpm. That's where the E-4 works best.
For my basically stock rebuild, I thought 325 hp. is pretty respectable.
