Dave from SD told me my TQ curve would be very flat and broad with the combo too. I don't see a downside to going with the 400 for a stick car really?
I'm a big believer in more cubes is better...but in this case I think this 400 build will be great.Anybody that has ever dealt with Dave at SD knows that this will be quite an engine....Nick is he building the complete engine?This should be a smooth nice running street engine when done....but it will still do what is described aboveWhat was Daves estimate on power?450hp/500ft/lbs
