People don't leave them at 427 for the following reason:

1) The bore comes already bigger than the original bore, so to get it to 427 (actually 425, which was what the original 427 really was) you would have to order customer cylinder liners and a very small stroke.

2) More cubes, easier to get more power

I asked the exact same question to Genesis and to Shelby. . .
