Not Ranked

I build my first motor a 302 in 2000. Each year I would upgrade and gain a little horsepower. I had it dyno'ed every year so I would knew what I gained or loss. Two years ago a bought a 354 stroker kit, new heads, cam and a lot of other parts. Last year I removed everything but the short block, called Keith Craft and told him what I wanted. "450 horsepower that was streetable". I drive my Cobra to the London Cobra Show every year and do a lot of cruising. No racing. But I don't want to embarrassed at the light.
I bought a custom cam ($300)and heads ($1700) from Keith. Bought the rest of parts from various places and put it together. Got it dyno'ed, 402 rear wheel hp and 416 tq. which was about a 80 hp gain. Very, very streetable. Best motor I ever had. Best money I've spend on my Cobra. Should have done it years ago. Would have been a lot cheaper.
I would call Keith or one of engine builders that hang out here on CC and tell them what you have and what you want.
