Right Heo, with those heads I was hoping for more. I think if I could have spun it higher it may have done better, but the dual point distributor pretty much gave up between 5500-5800. Seems like with headers, an electronic distributor, and maybe a bigger cam, you could get to 475-500 HP. But not in stock trim, that's for sure.
I thought it was interesting that a basically stock 428CJ would make quite a bit more torque. Those huge ports on the Boss 9 really hurt torque production. No wonder everybody said that a good running 428CJ would beat a Boss 429 back in the day...
