Okay, according to Steve Darby's website, a stock B motor, with 8.0 to 1
CR, and a DGV carb will realize a nominal increase of 3 h.p. 4500
R.P.M., and about 6 h.p. at 5000 R.P.M. This is about 6%. I would
venture a guess that with dual S.U.'s the increase would be comparable.
Anyone have any info on the bang for the buck of a swap to a "mild" road
cam? I am guessing that it would be comparable. $1500 for a 6%
increase on a stock motor seems nuts. Granted, the performance boost is
much more evident in a race prepped motor, but thats not what I am
driving! Maybe, if I win the lottery . . .
