Not Ranked
I had a Weaind stealth on a FMS crate 351W and I swear by it.
It chassis dynoed at 337rwhp @ 5800 rpm and 336 rwtq@4400rpm. FMS rated the motor to peak tq at 4500 rpm and hp at 5800 with V-Jr. I felt I lost little (5-6) on HP since the Stealth flows to 6800 rpm and I was out of the motor by 6000 rpm. BUT....take that 351W on a 2500-3000rpm romp and the Stealth takes over . The Stealth with 1/2" spacer and 650 BG race demon made 300rwtq @ 2800 and 300rwtq at 5400rpm. This was a very usable power band . It was snappy at 2500 rpm and accel was steady right to the shift point. I stayed with the Stealth after porting the GT40X crate heads . The Stealth was port matched to the Felpro 1262. Dyno results were 376rwhp @ 6000rpm and 361rwtq at 4600rpm. It made 330rwtq@ 2600 and 330rwtq @ 5500rpm. Again wide and usable power.
I may have lost a few hp above 5500rpm but I was out of the motor by 61-6200rpm . I felt the steady pull from 3000rpm up was well worth the exchange . I would suggest a 650 Holley HP or BG carb if you go that route.
