This will be interesting. What rpm do you plan on spinning the 427'' up to?

i would hope 6500 to 7k

Dyno pulls with no exhaust and with full exhaust , your mainly better with no exhaust , this is a chassy dyno by the way , quite a few different cars and motors.

Borella 3" exhaust on a sbc performed exceptionally well , which is where i will be . But also something else I was reading on flow . it was shown the increased flow can lean out a motor down low and if that is corrected your going to experience no loss at all.

I also have a self learning fuel injection system so the mixtures will be tailored to the set up ....
