I want to be able to drive the thing, I just want the "impressive factor" there when I need it. I live in a small town and people around here are scared to death of anything that has a big block in it, let alone a 638cid Big Block, so it'd be the top dog around here when I get it built.

when it made that hp number it had a 275 shot, it now has a 350 shot going through the NOS Big Shot plate. The rearend is the stock 12bolt with a detroit locker,3.73. gears,stock axles,and i run 29.5x10.5"S" slick. The tranny is a turbo 350 with a full manual valve body,4" race pan, and a Neal Chance bolt 2gether convertor. As far as how it idles, it idles good,very crisp,clean sounding,and the cam is around 700 lift with the 1.8 Jesel shaft mounted rocker arms thats on it. My truck is pump gas friendly, last summer i used to drive it all the time around town, going to cruise nights, its a blast to see the look on peoples faces when you pull up behind them in traffic and their rear view mirror is shaking.
