If you were told these numbers by previous owner I understand the misunderstanding. If you witnessed the numbers and have dyno data yourself, please post.
My 427 makes 550 at the crank and 462 at the wheels. And runs on 93 octane with 22 initial and 38 total.

Those were the numbers passed on to me by the previous owner, I will try to get in touch with him, perhaps he send me incorrect # I will find out if I can reach him in CA. There is nothing I can do about the 8* BTC now those are the results I have seen when tune up the car. I did say that I do have a mild cam, nor have I done any major changes to the engine. I am happy with the power I have.
