It’s actually pathetic to watch at times. Guys are shocked I have a small block and often say wholly crap so n so has a 512 cubic inch engine and runs 10.70’s. A few guys mentioned about the best head wins and they are totally wrong. The best “combination” usually wins. And notice I said usually.
I see both sides of that argument though. The guy with the 512 runnin 10.70s, while he can go a LOT quicker, he's running much less stress on everything.
