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).
Well we have been running 9's in our pump gas unported but stroked RB in the Duster....We keep the r's down and have put a lot of passes on her. Its been a great combo as I had my doubts, but it has worked really well at 735hp.
This year, I sold the little 484 Hemi in my street car and built a pump gas 605 all aluminum Hemi. I was very disappointed with it as far as performance goes. I decided to change all the things I hated about the old engine. With that said, my street car (Cuda) is only good to 10.0 and I think 850hp will put it well under that, so if things go well, it will land in the race car for a season and the 512 wedge in the street car....Take any bets what it will run if we do? Mine is 9.1ish
