Was surprised to see a Penn. ‘car barn’ museum owner (TV) showing off his ‘56 Vette with dual quads/solid lifter/high compression heads, and supposed 245 HP (265ci) engine. I’m assuming that much power (if indeed accurate) must have come with a substantial torque sacrifice, though likely not so impactful on such a light (fiberglass) vehicle. I wonder if the comparable ‘Hi Po’ dealer-option/dual quad kit available for the ‘56 312ci T-Bird also included a special cam & heads?  I don’t recall any comparison road tests between those two specially equipped sports models (?).
