Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

We aren't in the racers forum are we?
Did John street drive that car?
What we aren't doing wrong or are is not having 5.xx gears and 5000 stall in a race car, no matter what the weight. This is where I try and clear things up by 'in general' saying... stay in your lane.

John is respected much. He knows that.

Why would I be in the Racers Forum, I have no interest in having a race car. However, I don't need to stay in my lane. Are you out of your lane? If more people put more into quality machine work and parts into their engine they would be faster. We both know that a dedicated Drag Race car is just that. I mainly rides on a trailer to do it's quarter mile thing and everything is optimized for that goal. My only point was, for all the know it alls, here is a low compression 318 supposedly worthless and not up for any kind of performance running the quarter mile in 10 seconds. What if you backed off the cam, that lowly 318 would still be making plenty of power. Granted by a professional life long respected racer. John and I have had a few long conversatioins.
