A while back it took a stout 540 with an F-2 to make similar power and it really chews through fuel.

So you started with a 454 and simply shortened the stroke to end up with a 388? Interesting!!! I have always wondered, for example, would a 388 combo with long stroke, small bore produce the same HP/Torque as a 388 combo with short stroke, large bore?????
I would think your set up would rev like wild and be hell for stout!!!
