Brent specified a camshaft for my Keith Craft 427W back in the winter of 17 when we were freshening up the motor and upgrading the car. If I recall Keith built the motor back in 04. We gave Brent the specs on the engine and the Brodix heads they used back then. The car idles 1000-1050k and it sounds the drum intro to Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher. I’m running billet half shafts from the drive shaft shop, 3” firefly stainless side pipes, 325/50/15 nitto drag radials, 750 QF mechanical secondaries, 4.30 rear gear and a T56-6 speed. The car pulls like a freight train. It’s 100% a street car…and I would 100% go larger cubes or whatever combo could get me to 750hp on pump gas with a hydraulic roller. I want the power when I feel like using it. What I hate about these cars is the summer time driving with the hot air they are sucking under the hood, there is no cold air setup unless someone does some full blown custom solution for you. I would imagine 750 crank hp is 600whp in one of these cars. Each to their own but 7k rpm with 700hp+ /550-600tq is what I would build. In a perfect world I would do an in-tank fuel pump and 13:1 compression running straight 110 VP on the street. I want to feel like I’m driving a sprint car when I’m in my cobra. It was 45 degrees out today and I got a blood rush to my head doing a WOT 2-3rd from 4K…it’s brutal.
