How do I build a 600 HP 428cj?

To be honest, funds permitting, I would order one.

Dom,

Keith said he could have gotten more out of it with a bigger cam and or his Stage III heads. But with the valve configuration on FE's I would think anything north of 600hp is tough. Displacement helps, but if you compare even 351W heads to the FE design there is really no comparison.

Thanks E!

Bigger cam...

One last comment: Keep an eye on driveability, especially when you live in a suburb with many "Yield" and "Stop" signs. You learn to hate the Cobra with a wild cam and use your Pick-Up with automatic instead.

Not to mention your hi-way speed limit.

3170:
"The 585 Hp engine would brake traction in fourth gear with fully warmed soft compound 12" wide road race slicks @ 5500 RPM with a 3.31"

Because you literally drive against an aerodynamic wall at that speed (140mph)!

Well I feel the same way, I want to drive it.

I've only been over 100 mph at the drag strip, but I have heard the same thing.
