This isn't a pissing match. I'm just not all that impressed with some of the older engines. The standard 429 is one of them. It was only produced for a few years, and it never made the name for itself that the 427 or 428 did.
I'm not going to dispute the 429's potential. Only that from the people who were running when the 429 was on the streets, it usually wasn't much competition. Keep in mind, my dad was running low/mid 13's in a '63 Full Size Vert. His friend was running 14.0's with the 390 tri power in the full size as well.
