Low speed torque and driveability ?
Obviously this ain't an everyman build but does shows higher hp per cid engines built with high torque to cid can carry a lot of torque at low rpms too. But I bet even with all that low end torque this engine wouldn't be happy with stock stall and 2.xx gears especially with it's 106 lsa.

Here's an 371 with ported EQ 246/244 hydraulic roller making 515 @ 5900/6000 rpm
495 @ 4800 and 401 @ 2500 rpm, this engine putting out similar hp & torque at similar rpms as some 408.
