If the end result after headers, higher compression head, and larger carb only yielded 10% or so gains

When, in 1954 the 230 engines were rated at 110 HP
AND by 1957 they were rated at 132 Hp

They were still running the single barrel Carter B&B and same log style exhaust manifold from what I understand.

The only difference being the higher compression head from what I believe?

If so, 110HP to 132HP is a 20 % gain right there

But your dyno report isn’t lying. I’m just wondering how Chrysler got a 20% gain in 4 years time
