Default Re: Actual HP for an L-78

----Hey Bill,,,Somebody at GM thought that your basic engine combo was good for 425HP back in 65 in a Corvette. Of course, that was probably under optimum conditions on GMs dyno, but if its bragging, thats as good a place to start as any. After 1965 and early 66 I think GM started to sandbag a bit for two reasons. First; Insurance. Second; Various racing entities.....Bill S
