Acceleration si affected negatively, however. To increase acceleration you need torque.A 350 would do it with a good bit of massaging (mostly headword) but for big torque you can't beat a 454. Even slightly massaged that beast can smoke tires and run all day well over a hundred.Gas milage will totally suck.I don't recommend driving so fast on public roads, by the way. Those other cars aren't obstacles to be avoided like a video game.</blockquote>
