hey, I started with small block years ago, they are great, and there is nothing like a chevy 302 singing at the top end, but, as brian said, the tork of the big block, and stick a 12-71 and a birdcatcher, spin it 20 over, it sings nicer than the small block, and makes you wonder what the heck nitous is... :lol:
but whatever it takes to go fast and have fun, thats what makes this hobby/sport so great....
big blocks for me......
