It's a 4.125 stroke making the engine 450 cubic inches. With the tall deck, I could have went with a longer stroke making the engine 502 cubic inches, but after lengthy talks with both Thomson Automotive and Wegner Motorsports it was decided to go with the 4.125 stroke. The reasoning for this was to make the engine more street friendly with better fuel mileage and a much longer life.
Here is what Ron Sutton said about it,
"These numbers are nice ...
710 HP @ 6400
651.5 FT LBS @ 5100
But the thing that is bad ass is the flat torque curve and hp like a rheostat. This thing will be great to drive. That cam you posted is the key to this wide power band."
