Wow. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for the 600 box. How many miles on it since install? Would the 500 be any different? High RPM track shifting aside, how is it?

As the car sits right now, I have no problems whatsoever keeping it on the road. I feel the 383 isn't delivering what I expected, and I'm sure the 400 is causing a significant power loss. I'll...

SBC 427 heads & cam choice

I did the mono spring and lower control arms in my 72. No real difference that I could notice between the coil spring setup and mono leaf. Save your money.

It's a hydraulic roller. I have just ordered a set of the new Eliminator 195's, the matching rev kit and a set of Jesel SS shaft rockers. Now I wonder if I should change the cam.

The cam is a custom grind from Comp 545/555 230/236 @ .50. Pretty similiar to what a lot of companies are billing as designed for stroker motors.
