SA is a great company. Great reputation. Great product.

I built my own .060 over 390 (402ci.) and I am very happy with it. It is more bang for the buck than any FE combination. I run a 390 crank, C7AE-B rods, and a flat top piston. I have an aluminum flywheel,close ratio toploader, and Webers and the throttle response leaves the 427 guys scratching their heads. At the recent Unique Homecoming I pulled away form a 454 FE stroker in three gears. A steel flywheel, steel crank,forged piston 427, has an incredibly heavier rotating assy and will not rev or recover as well. Don't get me wrong, there are some BAD 427's out there that put out ALOT more power than I do, but, all that matters is what it does in the car. Dynos are for bench racing.
