Low speed torque and driveability ?
That's a lot of power for a street driver....most guys i know can only afford gas for 1 cruz nite per week at those power levels. That engine will out rev most 408's and seems more like a race prepped engine to me.I don't know why the 372 isn't more popular? As for drivability i think most guys want strong acceleration at lo rpm when driving at any speed. I remember reading an extensive article on designing the 383 roadrunner. I think they tried 4 camshafts before they found one that wasn't lazy and would squeal the tires from idle.
...and a roadrunner has 17,550 total parts according to the article.
