Asp,

What intake are you running? I'm getting ready to build a 408, but I want it to be streetable. My concern is drivability below 3000 RPM. Some threads say that a Victor Jr. destroys the bottom end, others say it doesn't matter in a car this light. I suspect that there are two perspectives, first, the crowd that likes to drag race from stop light to stop light and is disappointed if they can't smoke their tires, that's not me. I want reliability with a little extra mid range oomph for the occasional trip to a road course, and will probably set my limiter at 6K. Also, if you are running a single plane, do you have hood clearance problems?

Anybody have experience with the Hawk Racing stroker kits on E-bay? They are selling a 408 kit with cast crank, I-beams, and KB pistons for $849.
