I think the "big" intake, and low compression will hurt torque




I hope you're wrong about the intake however I don't think you are taking into account the LONG runners. Runner length has a lot of influence on torque production.

I built a 10.5 comp 408 in 2002 with really crappy '596 heads/hydraulic flat/Torker/Thermoquad that made 532 ft/lbs and only 465 hp on a Superflow 901. I hope to add about a hundred horses and 25-30 pounds of twist this time. J.Rob
