looses power

Try shifting 1-2 at 6000-6200 see if it goes faster.

I was thinking the same thing. I always have to get out of low gear much sooner than second.

Just to be on the safe side, if clearances and other factors allow it, try upping spring pressures a bit. It's better to have a LITTLE more than needed than a little less. Do some research on what your overall engine combo should like in springs.

Being a long stroke big block, it could work better with less rpm, as suggested.

Okay, I'm good with lower rpm, but I'm thinking the intake has too much plenum and runner, agree?

[Ed Wright]

Too much plenum or runner cross section won't cost power at higher RPM. My experience has been the other way around.

426ci + 525 CFM don't = 7500 rpm at the end or 6500 rpm on the shifts..

Just sayin'
