Curious to hear from others who own a keth craft sbf 427 585hp config. If the power curve is unsatisfying, what is your recommendation. Going to send a check to KC tomorrow. Please keep fredback coming.

Have Keith build you a 445 Windsor like he did for Pman1961's setup. That motor is a beast.....has great power curve and comes on like a freak up to 6500. It really shouldn't be anymore than one of his 427w setups. I think it makes 615hp/599tq or something like that. I have the 427w 585hp and it's too peaky for me. It's fun when your at the higher rpm but you spend about 1% of your seat time at that rpm unless it's a race car. Perry's car uses a hydraulic roller and it has the radical idle you are looking for. If I was getting a complete new motor or doing a complete rebuild that is what I would get or even a 460w after driving it
