I've always looked at it this way... we all want light
cars because its a known fact that it requires less
HP/torque to move it X ET/speed... a BB is 100 lbs
heavier(round figure) and now days with all the stroker
stuff ifs not hard to build a 425+ ci SB so to me its
to build a light car(2600-2800 lbs) and save the weight
with the SB... they tend to handle better on the road
(with minimal suspension work) VS the BB... if
all I wanted was a drag car that goes straight for
cheap I'd go BB but on the street we tend to go red
light to red light and call it racing but being a street
car you have to think weight.. yes the old idea of
you cant beat displacement has its point... but I'm
POSITIVE I could put a 5.7 to 6.4 hemi in my Rampage
and go mid 9s and have a nice DD car.. those guys
with the new hemis are making some nice power....
by the way... I am saving up for one
