Hey guys, I just wanted to quickly mention I went to the Cup race at Fontana this weekend and it was really amazing. I couldn't ever imagine how small block 358s can create a small earthquake, shaking the stands and flying by at 200+ mph. I was a bit disappointed Sadler won the race because I thought the 6 or 9 had something for him, but the race experience itself was great. By the way, would anyone have an estimate on the drivetrain loss on them? I stayed a while after the race and heard (an unverified number) that the top cars were run on the chassis dyno and pulled 760-790 RWHP. If that's a 13-15% loss, it equates to about 900 horsepower on a 780 carb and flat tappets.
