The reference to my car is laughable since you
don't know anything about the rest of the setup. Rather than making assumptions, how about either asking questions or leaving your nose out of it?
The "slow as a pig" 396 solid lifter Vette motor had .30 over bore spec pistons, spec Lunati high lift solid lifter cams, rectangular port heads, 2" headers with 3.5" collectors, 456 gears in the rear, glass pack mufflers, top of the line (in that day) aftermarket ignition parts (this was points and condenser days), and plugs with a heat range and gapped to match to the rest of the car. Also included was a Munci M22 "rock crusher" trans, 40lb steel flywheel, 15x10's in the rear connected to a 12 bolt Dana posi and ladder bars. It was setup for high torque short runs. It ran on Sunoco 280.
Obviously, it could barely get out of its own way. 
So, 'Mr I'm no expert but let me show my ignorance',
what have you built on a 1960's muscle car platform???
