Scott I have just over 4000 miles on my Craft built all aluminum 482. I have had zero issues with it so far. It made 595 Hp/ 625 tq on the Craft dyno. This of course comes down a lot when you have it in the car (alternator, water pump, more restrictive inlet and exhaust and power train losses). It is still a lot of power in a light car. More than you can use in most circumstances. Interestingly though you do get used to it and after a while it doesn't seem so extreme anymore (until you get back in your daily driver and it feels like there is a block under the accelerator and the parking brake is on).
