Thanks Lew.

I was discussing what the real power of a “stock” 440-4 was, and thought I had remembered the first stage in that test was less than 375hp.

Of course, you can’t really have the discussion using data from different sources without the “comparing dynos” factor brought into the conversation.

I’ve never dyno tested a 440 built to stock specs so I don’t have a reference point for the dyno here....... but the numbers gleaned from the pretty mild 440’s I have tested lead me to believe that one built totally to the OE configuration wouldn’t make 375hp here.
