The thing that this thread does for me is give me hope. I've got a 235 with an 848 in my 56 Chevy and although it will likely never be rebuilt to more than a stock specification, whatever results come from this thread will provide tantalizing "what ifs" for me to dwell on. I've always been a fan of applying new thinking and new technology to old stuff.

Thanks for all the R&D time you've spent on this topic.
