"My site"??? I don't have a "site". If you're referring to the FAQs on 442.com, I wrote some of that, but by no means all of it. That FAQ is a compendium of posts to the old Chubecto Olds mailing list. There was almost no fact checking, the text was taken almost verbatum from posts. There are a number of errors in the FAQ and attempts to have them corrected by the owner of 442.com have not been successful.

88 Coupe, the hp advertisements are urban legend?

Norm is correct. You don't find it suspicious that with all the mods (radical cam, select fit parts, different carb calibration, different advance curve, outside air induction) that the 70 W-30 only put out five more horsepower than the run of the mill 455? Or was it maybe a fabricated number (370 HP) to stay within the 10 lb/hp mandate from GM brass, since the curb weight of a 70 442 was right at 3700 lbs?
