I'm happy with the 350, going to probably buy a large ice maker to keep in our shop though and some coolers to bring to the track rather than having to buy ice to bring every time I go, that's really the only hassle with it. But the icemaker will also be useful to us because our crews could use it for their drinks and lunches before heading to jobs in the summer and for our own use for fishing or bbq's or anything.

All we're really doing to it this winter is installing a 2 step, a racepak system, and a couple minor things on the motor and we should be all set to go next season. I had it down to the 8.6's consistently our first time out just rolling onto the gas since it doesn't come with a 2 step and I hadn't done anything with the tune yet and flooring it would just spin the tires.

One reason we didn't go with the 427 was some people who race it said they got hit a little with the index and was harder this year for that motor to compete and that the 350 was still good. The 2017 had a choice of the SC350, the 427, direct injected 6.2L(376ci), but it is also allowed to run a 409 but that engine wasn't available to be bought with the car so idk where they got the permission to run it but it is in the rulebook.

I'll pm my phone number later.
