my motor is a 400 30 over flat top pistons,670 something roller cam,eagle rods,eagle standard stroke crank(cast)brodix heads after all the angle milling and pocket porting there about 240 plus cc w/208 valves,100%new bearings(rod,main,cam,all new gaskets,brand new engine,,i'm thinking a 406 with about 600 hp,,,what you think,,its not my motor,,,,steve

Do this before ya change the gear, go out to the car pull the launch chip and stall it this way and see what it goes to. Do not hold it there for long ( but just see where it goes, this will not be the same as the track stall flash but will give us a idea. I still think its tight, a motor of that size/power can get away with 6200-6300 in a digger. This may save you the time and money or a gear change.
