You didn't include that the engine mentioned was on E85. 12-1 on E 85 is about 15-1 on gas. That's super lean. A gas engine will be pig rich at 10-1

Why do many need a 3000hp capable trans in a less than 1000hp application? Especially with all the related mods to install it? Personally a GM 4L60 or a 200 4R would be an easier fit. Even a better trans? I'd be leaning to a ZF 8HP70. The amount of fuel cost savings will never be recouped with...
There is no way that changing the actual F/A ratio from a real 12-1 to 10-1 would add power. Nor would it add 160 hp. Now maybe if it was misfiring at 14.8-15.0-1 down to 12.8-13.2 there could've been a big gain. When the last time anybody has seen a N/A engine make peak at 10-1?.

In those years the VIN plates were pre stamped with the year, plant, and sequence number, and the first two characters were stamped later when the type of car was known.
here's an interesting thought on making peak HP i clipped ..IQ52 posted this ..
"" it made 680 HP at 12:1 AFR, 760 HP AT 11:1 AFR and the 840 HP @ 10:1 AFR. I think with some more fuel it still had some horsepower in it.""
at .700 lift its real close to the TF270 at 355...Gained 160 HP just by...
