[trs900]

I had 2 Backdrafts at the same time "both had same gear ratio-tires, etc" one had Ford racing 302 with 340HP and the other had a 392" Ford crate stroker with 430hp there was absolutely no comparison in drive ability, the 392" had power and tq everywhere, the 302 was fairly strong in 1st gear then fell of in 2nd-3rd etc, possible with an extremely close ratio tranny it would have had more pep and while cruising in 5th it just didn't have any pull compared to the other, also when I sold 302 car I had a hard time as it seemed everyone was conditioned to think more power was better, car would have sold to 1st looker if it had more power so if you think you might want to sell it some day it probably will sell quicker with 351 and stroking it will be beneficial also
