I have the 430hp stroker and yesterday took an old friend for a ride.. I let it row off from a stop in 1st then nailed it and layed 2 nice even stripes of rubber on hot black top with the 80/20 3:10 rear end & 315/45/17 drag radials .. he about shi** himself .. I have heard of others complaining about doing a 1 wheel burn out but I dont seem to have that problem... I feel get as much HP as you can offord but dont go over board and take away from the driveability of car.. you want it to hook up & go straight.. not sit there and do donuts.. also worth mentioning is the fact that my engine runs very smooth from 1100 RPM idle to 6000 rpm.. no stumbles or flat spots.. instant throttle response..
