Back to part of his original question...
(I am thinking of upgrading also. I have driven almost 35,000 miles on my SPF with a Ford Motorsports 351/385 with 3.27 diff and 5speed)

Anyone that has moved from 351w (380-400hp) to 427w (500+hp) and want to share the experience? Did the extra hp make a big difference in actual performance (say up to 100mph). Traction is a bit of an issue now, so I would think that would limit the actual performance gain of the 100hp or so...

No doubt there would be a big performance gain above 100mph.

How about some "seat of the pants feel" and actual numbers from those here who have upgraded their cars?

thanks in advance,
Jim
