"The Street Rat" 405 HP
(Stage 1)
Big blocks are notorious for making big power down low in the curve, and this engine package does exactly that!
If you are looking for a well balanced, classic big block package for your Hot Rod, Classic Pickup, or Muscle Car, this is a perfect option. Excellent bottom end performance and mid range power.
An excellent choice for larger/heavier cars and trucks where bottom end power is the priority. A nice exhaust note with a slight rumble, and tons of torque to pin you back in your set!
**Looking for a little more power or a bit more chop? Our "Hot Cam" upgrade will add another 30hp and 15ft/lbs of torque for an additional $495. Ask us about it**
