This is a good one here and good points on both sides. Ive a purpose built street car made for one thing and there is not one area I skimped on.

With that said the parts list alone is enough to make me sick and its odd how many run race blocks around here (mopar, ford and chevy) on the street and oem blocks at the strip.

I do think dollar for dollar if I had went the BB route, aftermarket block and it would have to be a long stroke BB that I would not need to spray it on a controller like I do the small block stroker.

But just like many who have been into small blocks and it seems equally with long stroke big blocks the money factor will keep me from ever changing over.

I would think only the ones who have the same model cars and as close to being done as equal money, one with a small block stroker and one with a big block stroker could give us the true answer.

So for now its just wallet vs wallet and possibly ego vs ego and a grudge match (which is fun).
