I have it in my 383. I love it. Great power and sounds mean. I am still running stock heads (ran out of money) and LS6 intake but it has put down some pretty good numbers so far.
I spun to a 7.13 in the 1/8th. Worn out ET Streets gave me a best of 1.61 60'. If the new tires get me back down to low 1.5-high1.4's I think it has a 6 second 1/8th in it. That was at 3450lbs.
I need heads really bad. So far so good though.

I don't have any sound clips of current cam. I'll shoot you an email if you like when I get some video. Going to try to get to the strip in the next couple weeks.....

TX Giant is a good match for a 427 if it's a 112+2. It's IVC is 54, which is perfect for a 427 with the FAST. So, if you get the 423, I'd look into the TX Giant and see if TSP could grind it on a 112+2. A 113+0 is not going to make a ton more horsepower if any and will give up a solid 10-15rwtq everywhere below 5500, due to the FAST 90 IVC issue and the lower DCR. Some people would ask why do you need an extra 10-15rwtq in a 427? Not like you can feel it or that you need to punish the tires anymore. But you don't pay one red cent more for it, so why not do it? Also, it will help with throttle response, but will require more tuning to make it livable due to the increased overlap.
