Re: 396 big block

Yes the LSx engines are nice, but before you make any hasty decisions, I would suggest playing with the 396 some first. First get the timing set with full advance (there is a sticky in the Engine and Drivetrain section). Then move on to the carb. The 850cfm is a bit much for a 396 so it might require some tuning to get it dialed in correctly. Try that and see if it makes a difference. It usually helps to have the timing and carb tuned for max performance.
