Well before all this gets too far outa hand, let me just say one thing to all you big block guys.
Anytime your ready...bring that big overgrown, boat anchor of a motor you got to Lagrange, Ga and line it up beside me with my little smallbock 82 with crossfire badges on the side. Loser buys dinner.

Careful there, Eddie. You might just let your Rotweiller mouth overload your Chihuahua butt. There are a couple of guys here with oversized big blocks in the 10's, knocking hard on the 9's. I'm also sure there are several 427, 454 and 496 owners way down into the 11's and even turning some 10's. You might have a sweet 383, but bada$$ it can't be - it ain't a big block. I don't think I've ever met 5 people who changed their preference to big block that went back to the small stuff. I'll bet you that you'd be a big block fan if you ever did the switch. Loser buys dinner.

Yea, yea, yea....offer still stands
I'm not saying that I don't like big blocks or that I don't respect the power that big blocks make. What gets me is that most people with BB's think that they can just whoop up on any small block around...NOT.

here we go talking smack again. sounds like you've got a great car.
and i'd guess if that big block--427, 454, 502, 540, 632, whatever--were running the 11.9:1 CR you are, that WOULD be interesting . . .
. . .and predictable.Of course, you'll eat the stock ones for lunch. . .
. . . okay, just read your last post, i think that's essentially the point i was trying to make . . . i got a big block, but i don't mess with Z06's or WRX's, either . . .
