It does take a light car to make the 4 bangers work best, got to keep the weight below 2,000 lbs and avoid big sticky tires in favor of about 6" of tread on the ground. Cutting down on weight and rolling resistance can really make a well-built 4 cylinder car fly...!!!!! The USAC guys used to make those Iron Dukes fly!!!!!! Horsepower to weight, as with any build, has to be your main consideration.
