I like 427 all aluminum smallblock windsors that make 612 horsepower and 615 on torque since that is what I have. Extremely lightweight, runs on pump gas, no maintenace, no problems thus far. You guys wanting 600 plus rear wheel horsepower my hat off to you. I have seen 680 horse bigblocks only make 510 to rear wheels, it is called driveline friction percentage. Most combos will lose 20 percent or even more to rear wheels, depends on rearend setup, exhaust and tune. I am hoping only to get maybe 475-490, will be real lucky. The guys who have 600 or more to the rear tires, usually have to have about 750 or more at the crank, wild motor to say at least. So far with my measley 450 rear wheel horsepower, one scary as ride.
