400hp 302

has anyone here followed the guide lines on the 400hp
302 on here,if so are you happy with the motor.
do you drive it on the street,i would guess with a stud girdle it would be a good motor to spray,any thoughts on this,ideas on how to improve on it

I'd recommend forged pistons if you are looking to spray. Otherwise driveability was okay, probably would recommend a hydraulic roller if you plan lots of street (part throttle) driving.
