Steve I think you mean 460 with 429 heads:) I have a couple of friends who have been trying to better each other at the track. One has a 390 in a Falcon with a set of Vic's heads and the other has a 383 in a 66 Dart with ported stock heads. They are both running near 12 flat, with the last run of the Dart this past summer dipping into the high 11's. The 390 shifts at less than 6000, and the 383 cranks his engine over 6500RPM. The 383 also has a more stout solid grind compared to the 390. This is the kind of fun rivalry I enjoy seeing, not Stan's "your stuff sucks" ranter, with nothing to back it up. With that said, I am willing to talk about any brand in a positive way, in the appropriate forum, and hope that others follow suit. Did you catch the shootout a few years back in Musclecar Review between a 440 charger and a 429CJ Cyclone? The Charger took 2 out of 3, but they were very close in performance. Both averaged around mid 14's with 3.91 gears and automatics. Fun is what it was about.
