Re: [Chevelle-list] What to do with my 396??

[Larry Shouse]

I got:   442hp @ 6000rpm 467fp @ 4250rpm   I hope to get better numbers after it's in the car and we can work with the carburetor some. The guy running the dyno took my carb off and put a custom job that was on the shelf on my engine and picked up 17 more horses without any tweaking (469hp). I just can't afford custom stuff like that though.   BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running L78 heads. Although I did get the heads rebuilt, I did not have any porting or polishing done.   Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Post To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 11:16 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] What to do with my 396??
