Hi all.
After reading a email about compression v/s HP I start wondering about some 
upgrades i did on my car.

My Dart GT 273 have the 2bbl standard package, that is the 180 hp engine. I 
upgrade my engine with a  Edelbrock performer kit:

4bbl 600 cfm carb

cam shaft 204/204 duration @ .50;  420 lift @ valve; timming @.50 intake 
4/28 exhaust 36/12; lobe separation 110; intake centerline 106.

intake manifold 2176

In addition I added:

mopar electronic ignition

Hi-po exhaust system (reproduction based on the club webbpage)

new 318 heads

Here is my question....
With all these changes I'm very close to the 235 hp dart gt package.....the 
difference stand in the COMPRESSION RATIO.  the 235 has 10.5:1 c.r., and my 
Dart still has the 8.8:1 standar c.r.

I would like to know how much will affect the lower compression ratio I 
currently have in my car ........and would like to know how many hp I have 
increased from the standard 180.

thanks

Juan Pablo, 65' dart GT.
