The girdle is a necessity at that power level, and so is a rev limiter set under 7k....

Well, on my race car we switched to a B engine for a lot of reasons. The main reason is it fits in our little A-body car a lot better than an RB....In an E-body, there is a ton of room. Other than that, we have not seen any other real advantage to them....If you have a good one, build what you have. They can easily make +700hp....Ours went 6.16 at 111.5mph last weekend in the heat of the day....There is more in it as our carb is still lean thru the whole rpm range yet. So we will see.

Looking to do somthing a lot different for next year though......
