Nor do I. My build is closer to the 427 flavor, with a SCAT stroker at 4.125" and a slight bore out. Light Wiseco pistons, light aluminum roller rockers, aluminum flywheel, balancer, SFT cam, it's all designed to rev quickly and easily. At a standstill, I wouldn't say she actually revs when you tap the gas, rather she explodes. Seriously. But, nowadays, I bet I can go an entire summer and only open the secondaries once or twice, maybe not even that.
