Small-Block Big-Power How-Tos
"Nothing is ever too fast" is a credo that quite a few sport truck enthusiasts live by, and the need for speed is an urge that can only be satisfied with varying doses of horsepower and torque.
Some drivers need just a little bit more power to be pacified, while others need megadoses to stifle the nagging power jones churning within. Yet increased power output can have a positive affect on something other than one's craving for quickness and acceleration. It can and does serve practical purposes, such as improved towing and hauling, but most of the time it's ego, not practicality, that's the inspiration for the pursuit of engine power. But there's got to be at least one rational justification for satisfying this need for speed, right? Nah.
So, if you have a Mouse mill under the hood of your sport truck and are looking for a way to get it to go faster, then pay attention. We've got three power bolt-on how-tos for small-block Chevys to show you. Each offering presents different ways to achieve increased horsepower, measured in overall performance gains and cost per horsepower-hey, there are no free lunches.
