Crusing around the dairy queen you won't feel the difference between a 318 and a 440 either. It's all about what you want it to do when you hit the GO pedal. You're right, those not taking their cars to the track need not squeeze every last hp out of their car if they don't want to. I don't think anyone in this thread was suggesting quench or strokers. He said he's on a budget and we all understand. FWIW, cheapie headers usually cost less than what HP manifolds go for.
