If I were to race an rb/b motor it would be a 383. It is by far the best big block from the factory even though it is the smallest and you give up a lot of cubic inches and torque compared to a bigger big block. with good machine work and heads/cam/intake combo it will really scream. it has a great rod ratio and you can really spin them up high, but thats just me, 99% of the guys on here will tell you to build a stroker and shift at 5500 rpm...

with ya!! But the 99% of guys are NOT wrong!! With a stroker you can make as much or MORE power and still be very "streetable" (which COUNTS hint: DAILY-DRIVER), instead of a high-winding monster waiting to be unleashed. NOT that there's
anything WRONG with an RPM-based motor AT ALL, (IMO I'd prefer it - MOD PRODUCTION, AND COMP ELIMINATOR always loved those classes and IMO would run it as a good "streetable" combo) but as you put it that it's your personal choice that MATTERS!
