I think your numbers are only applicable if you're trying to update the
PRV. Where's Darryl Tinnerstet? He has over 300 HP, and I'm sure he
spent a lot less than $13K. And the guy with the 4.3L Vortec I'm sure is
under $80/Hp. This brings us back to the price/performance index. Time
to check the archives...
