Ah yes.........there it is, the FINAL argument of the die hard Mopar fan. What about Top Fuel, what about funny car, what about this or that. NEWS FLASH, not every person out there wants to, nor can run a blown alky burning HEMI to try and compete with the other brands.
Seems the aftermarket must agree with you though. After all, Mopar guys have the HEMI...........they must not need anything else
Monte, other than the N2O and NA people, which are competitive due to rules(rules lobbying is the only reason it's not all screws and turbos, let's be honest), people are fine running hemis. Heck, lots of bottom end stuff is hemi spec to use the well researched and available bearings. As you(and most other intelligent people) have said before, race stuff is race stuff, it's not GM/Ford/Mopar.
I am not even sure what you are trying to say here. Who is fine running HEMIs? And you said it yourself.......N/A you can't compete. Nitrous, you can't compete. About the only place you can be up front with real Mopar power is in a class where a boosted HEMI is allowed or the rules are severely restricted.
Oh and just for info........the fastest Pro-Mod cars on the planet are turbo cars with 481X power. Which is an Olds wedge head on a HEMI type bottom end
