Thats a real nice engine, very good torque. It should drive very nicely.

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

What kind of hp drop would you expect with this build when it's checked at the wheels (if it is)? Looks like a good combo. Should be lots of fun.  |

No pro, but most dirvelines take up about 13-20% of the HP, I could be wrong. But that is often the case. and does depend on a few factors.

That's an absolutely gorgeous torque curve, you guys are finally putting together with a 440 stroker what I've been doing with a 383 with a 440 crank, and I'm really liking the potential on the stealth heads in this region.
They appear to be exactly as advertised, its not a race head for high HP, although it would probably do a decent job if you port it out and match it with a good cam. For a street able head that makes an obscene amount of power, I think I'm sold.

The cam profile was specced based on streetability and vacuum requirements for power brakes. This engine will idle like a stock 440 and light the tires up at will from just about any speed
That sounds like the perfect engine combo for me.. |

Looks to me like it's time to buy some stock in M/T. You will be spending a bunch of your allowance on rubber.  Great build... Ron knows his chit.... I also think this would be a great build for MOST of the mainly street cars on the board. How do you beat those TQ. numbers?? This is a purring LION.......... |
