IMO it's an unfair advantage to be allowed a 4.56" bore for the Hemi/L87-L89 cars if only because a guy with a small block anything or a Pontiac or any other brand can't. Bigger bores mean bigger valves and the 'already fast' combos get that much faster.


I don't know for sure but I believe the Duster is running an R block so 4.100" + would be no problem. The R block is heavier than a factory block too so there's a weight penalty.



Didn’t Ryan have a cnc program to lighten the R3 blocks years ago. I’m sure others do too.
