I wouldn't change a thing. the only regret I have with my csx is having the 496 built. I wish I would have stayed with my home built cast iron 427. I personally believe my car would be lots more fun to drive with a good strong 450hp I could speed shift and wring out than the 760 it has now. It is faster than I can lie about but there is no way I can drive it to it's potential on the street.I will go so far to say a good strong 390 may be the most fun.just my 2 cents,,Tk

Ok,

I confess, I am the wimp in this group. I told Keith I wanted a mild driver with a masculine rumble. He delivered. 427/482. 530 hp at 5400. 604 ft/lbs at 4400. Screamer of the line. I love it. Ka-thunk ruble at the light, revs great and 'pops' the exhaust note like she wants to step on you. Did I mention 35 mpg? ;-)
