also, these are peak numbers at 7000 rpm; his torque and hp curves are probably a lot fatter at all rpms - ie, more power sooner - as I presume he started with a 3.8 which are known for their grunt at lower rpms. of course, I have read that stock heads with bore increase tend to make for peaky performance, so expect some gains in the lower rpms as he optimises the output.

Interesting. So, you can't make my 3.2 into a 4.0? You need to start with a 3.8??
But I gotta believe a stock 3.8 motor is putting down over 380 crank HP.
Regardless, I appreciate your comments and look forward to Jake's reply.
