Sport 440 you need to read what my post stated not what you think it said. I never said 500 bb would be optimized with 3.23 nor would the small block with 4.10.
I was just showing what .83 in gear ratio would do between the two combo's. You also said it wouldn't fall back to 3500 with the right converter and I stated that would be with the converter dead locked (just as an example)
which never happens.
Okay, thanks for showing us that A mechanical event which never happens.
To me this isnt really about the "BB vs SB" I love stroked small blocks.
"Its Only about a non stroked "500 HP 440 BB vs a non stroked 500 HP 360"
That, and That alone Is my argument on the position. In that argument, Hands down the BB will win, at this level of performance.
