honestly, if you went to the RPM intake, only do it to "match" everything together. The added torque is kind of wasted on a 2500 pound car. That's why I said I'd do it differently next time. The fact that I'm easily putting all I have to the ground in 3rd (and in 2nd without a lot of finesse, really) tells me I could live with 100 more HP.

If I ever decide to tear this motor apart for fun, I might try to go solid cam (bigger), and run the appropriate carb, intake, and heads. Go for 600+ HP.

But then again, I built a 408 for a reason. Not going to spin it up real high (6300-6500 RPM), wanted torque, got it.

How much HP loss have you heard of on the Cobra Oval Air Cleaner? I was thinking of getting a second air cleaner setup for driving and keeping my oval for the occasional show I go to.
