Low compression motor and power capability I have been looking at building my BBC and was wondering how limiting low compression (8:1?) is going to be as far as making power. The car made ~300whp on a Mustang dyno and Id like to see ~450whp with a better cam/heads/intake on the stock bottom end.
Is this a reasonable goal?

I'm guessing it is a later model emissions motor with open chamber heads?
Swapping to a good head with a smaller chamber will result in a good bump in compression. The airflow characteristics will be better as well. Heads and cam selection will make all the difference
