I have a 514" 429 in my SPF making 550 RWHP and 618 RWTQ.
With the TKO trans and 3:73 gears anything past 1/2 throttle in 1st is all tire spin, 2nd is about the same and if your not careful 3rd will spin pretty good. I have 295 BFG's. It's all about finese.
I can blow the tires away in 4 gears screwing around but I can also drive the thing were it hooks up. Like rolling in to the throttle in 1st,2nd & 3rd gears. I'm going to change my rear springs to 343# instead of the 400# the cars come with to try and help plant the tires. My motor makes most of it's TQ from 1800 rpm to 6200 rpm, I find myself shifting off the rev limiter more than I like as the motor rev's very fast.
