This is excellent performance out of the little hemi!  245 hp at the rear 
wheels is bout 280-290 net horsepower.  Considering the relatively low 
advance, this is very good.  I don't think you will need to go to 9.25 
compression when/if you rebuild this engine.  Just clean up the carbon off 
the pistons and heads!
