Maybe it depends on the 427R engine. I can tell you that the 427R in car #2047 drives just fine in the city and will tractor around like a very mild 351 with no issues. Even with the Vic Jr which is more of a high rpm manifold then a dual plane, the power is very broad and does not leave me with the thought of needing to change anything. That being said, I know the owner spent well over $1500 for a new carb and dyno tuning. It is one of the best running engines I have ever had a chance to run.
