It will pull to 8500-8800 with some chamber work, the angle cut head, the 288 cam and the ARP bolts. Holly 500 or bigger. The ARP bolts are needed for sure. 3-5 PTW clearance. Good oil pan.

OK what kind of spring rates should I start out at for the Rocco?? I was thinking a 500 lb. for the RF;I kinda know the LR rate isn't too important,so what about the LF & RR rates?
