One question has been haunting me for sometime now.....

Who needs a big block when your small block stroker makes 660 + ponies ?

Does a big block will make you go faster in the same body with more torque ?

I see here big block builds hoping to get 600-650 hp and go fast....faster than my 606 hp small block ? should I go big block to get better et's ?

I'm confused.....................

Torque buddy....its all about the torque. I can leave at 2k, shift at 6400 and run 9.70's on pump gas....A small block will do that as well, but at a little higher rpm, and it needs a lighter car and probably more maintenance in the long run....In the end, the cost is about the same as the small block really should have an after market block at that hp level....Why not a +500 small block? If your spending money....why not a little more.
