Please tell me about your budget 393 or 408 windsor build results. Give a brief description, hp made, highest rpms, and how long it has lasted. In the description, include notes about the internals/bottom end.

I'm considering a build and want to understand if all the extra money for a better kit is worth it.

Thanks

Never been dynoed, but ran 10.13 @ 131 shutting off at the top end. Best mph is 134.9 on a 10.22 weak pass before the rear went. Should go 9s on motor, sho knows on a jug!
