Bernd,
Dress-up is important to a lot of people, I agree, if your goal is a show
truck. If you want to get down to usable power out of the Magnum Engines,
then stick by the rules of good engine building. If you take a look at the
crate motors of Mopar Performance, they make an honest 380 hp with 350
ft/lbs of torque from 2,000 - 5,000 and their recommendation is a 750 CFM
carb........
