Grubby, you made a good choice. As Tom and Keith have said...it ain't the cubes. And David's mention of how popular the combo is speaks for itself.
I have a big tight Shelby motor...Boghosian built it back in 2003 with a big solid roller cam (.650 lift), T&D upper end stuff, Velasco crank, 850DP, etc. Only problem I ever had was the roller cam, which we switched to a flat tappet at the same grind specs. (About a year before Keith perfected using hydraulic rollers in these things.) I'm running a toploader with 3.23s, so it winds a bit, but is perfectly suited for the cam.
With all that, it's a sweetheart on the road, and I've driven it on road trips of several hundred miles at a time, as well as on the track against other crazy basturds who hang around here.
It's the perfect Jekyl/Hyde combo.
