Looks about like a dead heat. One thing to keep in mind, you can get a warranty on the 496's.

Ya, I've been watching this thread. I am about to buy a 496HO to replace a 454Mag MPI. 40 more ponies in a light boat should give me a few MPH.

When I have to replace my 454/420's, I'll probably be looking for some 496 HO's.
