I just needed a little more midrange to keep up with the Z06. He didn't have to change gears and as soon as I got into the lower range of 4th he started to pull until I got to 5000rpms. That's the advantage of having 427ci and the disadvantage of having 302ci with a centifugal. I think that with either a 331 or a smaller pulley and everything else the same on my car that we would have been even or that I could have pulled him the same way he did me.

I've always felt the 4.6 was too small. It's best to have at least a 4 inch bore to make REAL power. BUT> the fact you gave a Z06 a good run, shows your 4.6 does have some balls.
