I had a small block with over 400 hp/tq to the rear wheels. It was fast.

I drove a 408 with 530/535 hp/tq to the flywheel. Sounded good and was fast but my small was faster.

I have a couple of buddies with 427-482 FE with 620 flywheel hp and 640 tq. They are fast and sound great.

I'll see if I can post some videos.

I don't even drive my car that hard anymore, I'm just getting too old... but, regardless of how I drive it, the sound of a big block FE, with a solid flat tappet cam, will be there forever -- even when I'm 100.
