Hi Jim! Its hard to say what he has,,,,there could be more to it,,, I mean, he could have 18.4x34 or 38's, which is an awful big tire,, that could be killing its torque, even 16.9s is quite a tire for an H,, I know, thats what you run,, but, you do have a well built engine,,,, he has the cubes,, cams can help,, valves too, but who's to say its not some wild grind that dont work,, Me, I run a lemmons cam,, I think that is a good cam grind,, its a few years old,, may not even be close to what they are doing now,,, id say if he is running 18.4s or 16.9's, he needs a smaller diameter tire to give back some power to the engine,, or, its something else. You know as well as I do,, if the compression is not above 270,, its not 95 hp, dont care what cam, valves etc etc,, maybe he does, maybe he dont, dont know many builders that build 300 cube Hs that arent bumping in the area of 270-300 psi of compression, and get the numbers in a relitive perspective. it could be anything,,, tires, engine, gears, who knows,, that is holding it back, or, just not up to snuff to get that hp. maybe when he bought it, and got it running, they told him,, yeah its 90-95, and he has never had it on a dyno,,,, seen for himself,,, I dunno,,,,, , Chad
