HP is what makes you go fast, you can always use gear multiplication to make TQ if you have HP.

Now that is out of the way I like SB strokers the best.




Torque is what makes you go Quick.

Steep gears can help with torque but will increase your trap RPM and make street driving more difficult. I had around 7 grand in each of the big blocks that I ran 9.80's with. Although alot of the parts were lightly used, there's no way I could have stayed with a small block and met the goals I wanted, which was a pump gas combo with some streetability and enough torque to run 9's.

When money allows I really do want to build a nasty stroker small block someday though, I especially like the extra room in the engine bay.




Why? I went 9.55@140 with a 422 small block that I had 10k in. I went 9.90 with a stock block and 360-1 Indy heads. I had 8500 in that motor.
