you don't put the plug in for the heads?
 

I would assume you are talking about when I cc'd the head?

Look close there is a 3923 or 24 in there . .

No way a stockish 427 like the one you described puts down 420 HP at the wheels.  Either that cam was far from stock, or that was one optimistic chassis dyno.  Your 482 will blow away that 427 if its set up correctly...

I will try to find the cam card. I do know the 427 Comet was faster than my friends Viper GTS . .

Could have been a happy dyno, a 64 Galaxie single 4v made 400 at the wheels. It was on a stuska dyno first and made 505.

Hopefully will soon find out. The 1 7/8" Misc Mandrel Bends from Schoenfeld showed up today.

Found the cam card after quite a bit of looking.   Looks pretty STOCK to me. HAHAHA

This was actually cam 2. Way back in 2002 so the memory slipped along with the racing bench I was sitting on!

One is card I got with cam the other is current. Slightly different specs

Incredible performance with the combo I had at the time.





A Sleeper it was!
