I'm not seeing 400hp from that combo but you didn't post what intake & carb, any details about your exhaust system, etc. Military recruiters, politicians, lawyers, and engine builders all lie. You also don't say what you're rear end gear ratio is if you know. But anyway, welcome. There are lots of guys here who know their shit and you are in good company. Post pics. We love pics.
it has a Aluminum Dual Plane Intake Manifold with a Quadrajet Carburetor headers with 2 1/2 exhaust not sure on gears
