    Talked to a friend this week about this very thing he picked up a blueprinted motor for another racer bill was 3800$$ dyno sheet said 441 HP from a well known builder. He took motor to another dyno with the owners blessings put it on that dyno 418 HP. Then took his untouched 604 used all components carb headers mufflers etc from other engine his motor made 414 HP and it had 2 seasons on it. Note different dynos different numbers. Also not 4 HP cost 3800$$ more kinda pricey don't you think . That 4 HP ain't gonna win or lose you a race.

      "Blueprinting" is basically what every REAL engine builder does when he freshens an engine. It only means that if there is a tolerance, he is perfectly within that tolerance. For an extra fee or bragging rights, he might tell you he is on the fast side of that tolerance.
      Bolting a crank in and bolting some rods and bearings to it is not blueprinting

        I think you would be wrong more times than not.
