Strap on a 100 shot of NOS.

Otherwise, you have a few paths you could take with the motor.

Cheap? No.

WELL STOCK IT WAS RATED AS 240HP AND THOUGHT 300HP WOULD BE A REAL NICE STEP UP.i HAD AN 70 Z-28 WITH THE LT-1 365 HORSE 350 AND IT RAN A SCREAMIN RAPPED APE.

I SEE ON MY CHART THAT THE COMP RATION WAS 9.5 TO 1 FOR THE 89 AND I JUST DONT SEE WHY THE HP IS SO LOW.
