In JWL's book he sends 92 pages modifying the stock engine, almost reaching 100 hp, but not quite. After adding a Max#1 cam the engine produced 112 hp. Read the book. Next, can you get 200 hp from an un-blown flathead on 91 oct gas. How???

I bet you know that answer ! I'm willing you can , but how long will a flathead last with a 2 stage nitrous shot last ?
I was always taught that you could have all the horsepower at once ( for a very brief period ) or for a couple of seasons if you limit it to 1/2 of its max .
I'm not sure I said what I was trying to , but I hope the message got thru .
