Dawg, the reason why Inliners is the top inline forum is because there are many innovators and motivators on here. Back in the 1950's, they were able to get over 225 HP out of the 235's using antiquated techniques by todays standards. They didn't even know what a flowbench was back then. So today, 60 years later, applying current technology to these engines is only going to raise the bar and performance level on these engines for the next several generations of enthusiasts to enjoy and be challenged with trying to raise the stakes even higher. Its a never ending cycle, we are always trying to reach a higher level of performance with any means we have....thats what hot rodding is all about. Is it practical to do it to this extreme. Since no one has ever done it yet, we wont know until someone does....Im sure in 1950, they didn't think that anyone would ever be able to get 700 HP out a Flathead Ford and go over 300 MPH with it at Bonneville either. You dont know till you try....
