Well just dont wreck it before you get time slips I want to see what that thing runs! should be crazy. BTW I drive a s-10 with 240+ degrees of duration @ .050 every day I can(no rain) in heavy traffic, love it no complants and when the traffic clears....whoa time to run it up to 7k and hang on! I would really like to see a video of a 9 second pass on a stock short block. That would be the definition of cool. BTW I have crappy 3.73's w/ 26" tall tires and a th350 in that one. Geared for spray not n/a. Still drives good with that gear around town. Then agian I am a very sick sick person and my definition of streetable includes 14:1 and solid roller too.

You can make a million foot pounds at 3000, even 4000 RPM and I'll make 700rwhp and walk you like a dog.
The only walking you'd do would be with your tail between your legs after being destroyed by my .9 sec 1/4 mile.

Aside from some surging below 2000, I have no complaints about the drivability, and the surge is easily controllable. It really is amazing how drivable these large cams are.

For a non daily driver.. sounds like it needs tuning 
Sounds like a lot of high rpm 5th gear usage due to surging in 6th on 55mph-65mph roads Still, considering the size of the cam.. you'd think it'd be strip only.
Peace,
Josh

It's all about preference. I've ridden in Josh's car and Beck'y husbands car(NL) his cam is just as big as the trex. Personally I wouldn't pick it for a daily driver, way to much bucking and surging under 2000rpm for me. But then again Josh and NL love it, so it's all preference as to what a *good* daily driver is.
