There are no curves in south Texas so I can handle that.

I have a fresh 427 SO, 4.250 bore, 9.8:1 compression, Comp 294S flat tappet (.605 lift), a set of new-out-of-the-box unworked medium riser heads, Erson roller rockers, Le Mans rotating assembly, Sidewinder intake and a 750 Mighty Demon and it made 451HP and 482 ft lbs of torque at the flywheel on a bonafide NHRA engine dyno. Plug that into your eap and tell me what it says. The software will claim much more.
