Thanks for the props SOMBitch. As far as performance vs $$$. Its not a good investment. Its truly the LAST bolton to buy. I bought it in hopes the my old 346 would've crossed the 500 rwhp line. Came close 490, but anyways it is a very nice piece. Also in my experience very reliable. No issues to date and I've made several runs with it from Texas to Michigan in summer heat. Liked it so much I re used it on my 402 vs selling to a member. I'd say about 5 rwhp, but the motor will rev quicker, and is more fuel efficient. SO if you intend on driving your car on long trips like I do, then the part will slowly pay you back a few $$ with better fuel economy. Its nice for the track too, you can shut the motor off and leave the pump on to circulate the hot coolant. Temps come down pretty quick between runs. Max coolant circulation from idle is nice. Don't let the guys scare you about not enough flow at high rpm's. BS I say. No issues. Hell my motor never even begins to get warm. I'll update how the 402 does once summer temps arrive. I've already noticed that the 402 gets the oil warmer then the 346 did, so it looks like I am going to be very happy about having a built in oil cooler. PM me any questions you may have. I'll be happy to try to answer.

Well not a good night at the track, track prep for friday nights suck *****, best was a 11.74@119.73, which is a new best for MPH from a 119.19, next Sat. is a track rental day and the track will be much better prepped, so I'm hoping to get some better times.
