speedshopmike, you are just off base if you think you can't do that with 300+ cfm heads. I have been driving mine around all weekend here in Kentucky and TN, with 310KREs and I fired it up on Sunday morning with a big thick frost on it and it idled fine in about 30 seconds, and I don't even have a place for a choke. (Proform body) I have cruised my car all summer hard and been stopped in traffic for hours in cruises in 90 degree+ and it sits at no more than 190. I logged almost 17 miles per gallon yesterday on the 3 hr trip home, and I can smoke the tires (295/45/18 Nittos) in second gear by just pushing the gas at 1500 rpm.
I have alot more torque than my 389s and 400s ever had with any cam grind from stock to RA IV and heads from stock to moderately ported. The bottom line is, for the street, there is no replacement for displacement. Cubic inches rule.
