i am about to start building a 408 to put in my mustang. i am running a 4.0 crank, 6.2 rods, keith black pistons that have two valve reliefs that are 6.5cc. i am looking at getting edelbrock aluminum heads from summit that have 2.05 1.60 valves with a 60cc combustion chamber. put it in this formula thing and it will be right at 11.9:1-12:1 compression ratio. so my questions with a healthy cam choice good for the road what kind of power do you think i will be making?
