    Would this be ok with the 700R4 that Van's is setting up? He'd prefer to see me stay in the 400 to 425 horse level.. Maybe just backing off to a vacuum secondary 650 would help with the driveability and make the OD trans live a bit longer???? Got to stick with the mechanical rollers, such cheap horsepower, all things considered.... Gonna go look at the VooDoo specs. I'm sure you (Erik) got a line on just the heads I need?????

    Dave,with 400 to 425 hp yo don't need a mech. roller cam.
    At this hp level I think you can get it done with a large hyd. or a small mech.
    Even a small mech. roller will push you above the 400 level.
    Yes,a vac. carb will help out a lot.
    At 400 hp you need a 180 cc head to get the job done.
