Al, this isnt my 1st rodeo. Been racing since the early 60's.
I'm going 8.30s in my little small block Dart.

I thought a good aftermarket iron block was supposed to be better and handle hp better than a aluminum block. i guess that information about cylinders moving around is a wives tale then? Then why do they say you make more hp with a iron block over aluminum?


I am happy you have been 8.30's with a SB in a Dart, what does that have to do with the question at hand. Or are we now comparing resumes? If you want to deal with the glorified stock block arrangement that is a megablock at 2400 HP then by all means do it and let us know how it turns out. The cap walk issues in Megablocks are pretty well known. Look at what blocks are in cars making that kind of power and report back to us. After all not your first rodeo..
