HotRod Mag 408 build w/TrickFlow heads NEW

I actually saw that article and read it with great interest as it is somewhat similar to my 408 build. I'll share here just for clarity - I'm at 10.5 CR with a SFT cam (251/256@050, .557"/.568", 108 LSA, 104 CL) with mildly ported Eddys, Super Victor, 850 DP Holley, and Hooker 1-7/8" headers. Identical torque to the magazine at 3500 rpm - 503 #-ft. My torque peak rpm was higher - roughly 4600-4700 rpm at ~530 #-ft and power about 10 more than the magazine's at similar rpms. I got just about what I was expecting when I picked out parts so I was happy. (As noted above, every dyno is obviously different so I can't vouch for that but it's what I got.)

Magazines and dyno numbers aside - they are just potentials. The proof will be when we get warm weather and I can get the Demon on the street and to the track and see what it means. 8" Treemaster TC....should be fun! I just have to keep climbing out of the rabbit hole......
