    Nothing wrong with running something different, as long as you have the check book to do it.....

    I believe horsepower and torque per dollar as it relates to quarter mile performance, more cubes is better. No replacement for displacement. If you really want a pounder and want to be really different, then get one of Erik or Pat's big inch big blocks, same car with their setup will go in the 10's!!!!!!!!
