Hi Tim,
I just dynoed a 408 that produced 491 hp & 515 ft lbs. It's a real workhouse with a mild custom grind hyd roller, Edelbrock heads, 10.4:1 comp ratio forged Eagle rotating asm & Edel Air Gap intake & Holley 750 dp. This engine produced 400 ft lbs below 3000 and peaked at 515 around 5000.... I use this custom grind camshaft on smaller engines with fantastic results. This would work fine in any car and run below 2000 rpm in 5th gear with np problems.
