You've got to be kidding! The ALL-TIME heads-up classes. T/F, F/C & IHRA P/S all use Hemi heads. Whether they call 'em Mopars, Fords or now Chevys the design is still the same-- HEMI. When NHRA DID have heads-up P/S racing it was so one-sided they added weight to the Hemi cars & NASCAR flat-out banned them for a year until that political mess could get straightened out.
Is A hEMI PERFECT? OF COURSE NOT! they're expensive, finicky, huge, heavy & comparitively complicated. But if price is no concern & you're not limited by rules or physical space, a hemi anything is the way to go.
