We are kilometers now so we lost out . Was 70 from Calgary to Edmonton but now it's 110 kph . I think that's like 68.35 now

Well hopefully your cam is tailored for torque . Do you ave any specs on which can was used ? That's what I've always wanted , a torque monster , not really concerned with hp

Well as a matter of fact Mr.Fulper builds them kinda torquey at 460 ft/lbs. He did not give me the specs on the cam as it was his own design. His quote to me was HP sells cars torque wins races.

   His shop is in California.

I would have to agree with him.  When I had my car put on the dyno it only had 267hp but 387tq to the wheels.  Do you know if his numbers are to the wheels or to the flywheel?

Anything I said would be speculation but having said that I would assume the ratings are at the flywheel.

  400hp with 460 ft/lbs of torque

there are some out west.....plus alot of 70-75 mph all over. On the interstate you can usually get away with 5-10 . Only on the interstate. Now I know somebody has gotten a ticket for 10 over the limit but I've never gotten a ticket on the INTERSTATE for going 10 over.
Really 85MPH?  News to me and I live in AZ pretty much in the "West"  :P  They are pretty strict over the 75MPH Interstate and I rarely tempt it past 79-80 unless I am passing!  I will eventually go with the OD but My TH350 is built and in phenomenal shape so will see how that runs and will probably be running closer to a 27" or just under depending on how the car sits when finished.

Ole skool.... I figured someone would chime in on the 85mph issue. Been in Texas lately? They have legislated 85 MPH speed zones. Montana USED to not have speed limits in certain areas but alas that's gone. Texas is out west the last time I checked. Google it.

Lower Border SW!  :P  Also don't want to give a geography lesson BUT:

Regional definitions vary from source to source. New Mexico and Arizona (in dark red) are almost always considered the core, modern-day Southwest. The striped states may or may not be considered to be part of the same region. With the exception of Texas and Oklahoma (offset in blue) -- which are counted as part of the South -- the Southwestern states are also classified as West by the U.S. Census Bureau. California is often excluded from all definitions of the Southwest.

I stand corrected. I've aways concidered Texas part of the WEST. Now, your right, I Am a Southerner but Not because I live in Fla. Florida is in the South but I would not call it a Southern state. I was born in Tenn and grew up in VA. So , yes I'm southern....Ya'll....LOL

 So...there are parts of the US that have 85 MPH speed limits. So..would you be called a Westerner?

No I knew u were in FL. and wouldn't consider it Southern either,  And from what I read they just opened or are about to open that 85MPH?!  75MPH is cool for me as I see how idiots drive for the most part!  ::)  I guess I would be a "Westerner" but really don't get to caught up in that as I have been here my whole life and haven't known any different.

75 mph would be great , 85 mph well that would be just plain awesome! I'd have to swap to a 2.41 rear .

Actaully I wouldn't do that . Instead I'd go with a better eaton carrior with a 3.42 gear set and a T56 . What's another 10 grand at this point lol
