Opinion: Small motors more or less consistent than big motors?

I agree with Locomotion's assertation to a point. When a car starts to have gobs of HP, it can become very unpredictable sometimes. Although I have not raced or gone to the strip in a lot of years, when I did, we went EVERY SINGLE weekend for probably five or six years. I think you can pick consistant cars out more by class than by engine size. Bracket cars that run in the 14.00-12.50 range were generally the most consistant hands down. Whether this holds true anywhere else, I don't know But at Warner Robins drag strip in the late 70s and all through the 80s it was certainly true. My '71 360 dart used to run 13.65-13.70 EVERY time and all I did was a burnout and stage the car and footbrake it in drive to leave and bend the floorboard with the gas pedal. That car rarely lost a street race to cars much quicker than it was. Most street races occur within 1/8 mile and a good consistant car is TOUGH to get out in front of that early. It's been "MY" experience (yours may vary) that the engine doesn't make much difference. It's all about how the CAR is set up. Course I couldda pulled that near stock 360 out, slammed in a full tilt 440 and slowed down cause I wouldda had to re tune the CAR to the engine. But that's been my experience with it.
