Re: gm crate engine question

From everything I've read in the past, the 250hp engine is a well-tuned combination, and then the 290hp is a "too big of a cam for that motor" version of it. So most people tend to prefer the 250hp of it.

Never owned either, but it's come up a number of times in the past.
