I understand that a big block will make as much pôwer as a stroked small block, only cheaper....

My Indy headed small block cost me over 12k, and I've gone 10.30 in a 3100lbs car, normally aspirated without nitrous.....

From there I'm left with either take as much weight off, or go big block to run high nines.

If every 100lbs lost is 0.1 sec faster, I put the same engine in a 2500lbs car, I should run 9.7 or so....again without nitrous......

After all that thinking, do you really need a big block to go fast ?

Give me your thoughts

I was running 8.90s in my car with a 405ci.. a mild
engine but I did rev it... but I didnt do anything
on that engine.. nothing went wrong.. I opened it
up a couple of times just to look.. that was in a 2405#
car with me... I could have made a lot more power
but I didnt feel like working on it(just needed a cam)
EDIT
that was N/A
