RE: horsepower

With a 390, it is very easy to get to the 400HP level (even on a budget) with pump gas. You can do this with as low as 9.5:1 compression, the big factor is the heads, intake, cam and carb you use. I'm currenly building a 390 for a NHRA stocker application that has stock heads (C6AE-8090R) with no real port work, Police Intercepter Intake, Holley 735 Carb, 10.5:1 compression, 0.500 lift cam, etc that will make right at 500hp @ 6400 RPM with racing gas. Anyway, that's my two cents.
