It doesn't take much to get one to reliably take 600 hp.

I built my own with really not much more than better clutches and steels and a TA manual valvebody.

It has over 7,000 miles and hundreds of dragstrip passes. I do try to inspect it at least annually as we have started spraying a 250 shot on top of the 600 n/a.

Low band apply valvebody and NOT doing 1st gear burnouts are keys to longevity with the 727.
