The stripe stays. The biggest give-away is definitely the sound. Compression, lopey cam and a free flow exhaust doesn't disguise much. lol Everyone knows what's up as soon as they hear it.
guys with fast cars dont get razzled by a lopey cam anymore. perhaps it peaks interest more so but thats it. most mopars gad some lope to them back then or purple shaft setups thst today nobody will even consider to be any different today.
i mean just look on the boards...the purple cam is still the talk of the abandoned mind set of todays tech being better. it amazes me and most non mopar guys still consider mopars to be just that. purple cammed 440s ant 4000lb bardges running 13s
