    Choices?

     



    On the other hand,is it a daily driver or strip only? Now that we are being screwed at the pumps again, how fat is your wallet? More cubes more fuel!

    If you want the camaro to handle corners, I would do the small block. I have never owned a camaro but I know that's what i would do. If it's going to be more for strip, 454 for sure.

    If this is your only choice than go with the 454. Otherwise, sell both of them and go get a 426. Hemi, of course.

Betcha everybody was to cut their consumption by about 50% the prices would get back to a buck fifty real soon!!!!!
