I love it ! Chevy, Ford and Chrysler. I like what Cobrashoch has to offer it is the least offensive and equally biased opinion out there. I ran several Big Block Chevys inthe 80's and these babies in there relatively stock trim. Ex: Cam, roller carb N2o would smoke them all on the street dollar for dollar, because when your racin' it is how fast for how much.And theres always one faster. In the 90's I went Blown Alcohol drag racing with a Rodeck 437" combo I bought from Ken Lowe UDRA champion, this beauty built great power but frequently broke due to its high rpm useage we shifted at 11,500 with a B&j trans and a triple disc. At this time Blain Johnsons oldsmobiles (this is a Gm for you Chevy nuts) were destroying the competition with his new Wedge head, sooo NHRA decides lets even it up and dump weight on wedge head dragsters end of going fast on current Budget, besides the Chevy never ran faster than a 6:28. About that time I run across this great deal on a nice K.B. HEMI Built buy Ken Veney and Don Gerarrdot, this complete like new motor cost less to operate and purchase then the parts for the Chevy deal. First time out of the box a 6:21 and a best of 5:95 in that car it ran an 85 in a new Chassis. We ran it four years never hurt it, Just normal wear and tear.And to this day nothing runs like a B.B Chevy on the street for the money, nothing runs like a HEMI at the track for the money. And Ford S__K ! So thats why I'm building a big inch Ford With lots of N20 cause it looks pretty, but I was recently quoted saying if I go racin' again its Blown or I'mnotGoing! By the way these Chicago boys in the big red Mustang and a Procharger are running some impressive numbers with a little bitty Small Block. My 2 cents
