What would it take to make 1.44 lbs-ft per cid ?

Was kind of the point of the thread to see what it takes to build more in the 1.35-1.45 lbs-ft per cid.

So if its 450 fps at the SS where it needs to turn are you making it faster or slower to get around the SS?
An American V8 is not going to be close to 450 fps. Pretty darn good as in Top dollar can be 350 fps. 'Em are going to cost.
