Mopar performance 360/380 hp crate motor

My buddy’s short block had a 508 and m1 intake.
In a dedicated bracket car, well lightened, that will do well.
Rumble, I totally agree. My car was on street tires, through mufflers, and a 9:1 360 with w2s. The suspension was sorted out ok but the combo was mis-matched pretty good. Needed more gear and converter and a whole lot more compression. I worked my 20 yo *** off for a year to put that thing together and he bought some parts and in two weeks had a race car. At least that’s how I remember thinking about it
At 20, you had a plan and executed it?
JOB WELL DONE!
I do not expect any young fella to have his stuff sorted out and together at all. Very few I meet have it together.
Also, it was your friends boss. As soon as a I read that, I heard money jingling in his pocket. He could and did afford himself something a young guy can’t. Now that you have had an additional 20 years.... my how the game has changed!
