338 HP vs. 356 HP vs. 376 HP 13 Years, 7 Months ago  
So those of us who own a 4 bbl. engine car(338 HP) want to know what we're missing in relation to the performance of the HO cars(376 HP). Is the difference in performance dramatic? Please chime in.

My 356HP has been rebuilt, so I can't speak to the performance of a stock 356. Mine now has a full roller hydraulic cam, H.O. specs, but the compression has been lowered to about 10:1 for the sake of running on today's pump gas. I am still running exhaust through the stock log manifolds, but will be installing a set of long branch manifolds (HO style) this fall. So let's say at this point I probably have power about equivalent to a newly produced 376 (and should surpass it with the manifolds). My best time yet - on G70x14 bias ply tires - is 14.4second 1/4-mile. I expect to get into the high 13's once the exhaust is flowing, and maybe some re-jetting.
I asked Gary Kittle how my car performed compared to his 338/4-speed, and he said there was a big difference.
If anyone else has times to share, this is the time.
