I don't quite follow that thought, I just mean that if someone has a bigblock car, it should make enough power to compensate for the extra weight and also to be able to outrun a smallblock with 100+ less cubic inches. If not, then it's just a waste IMHO. If you are going to have a bigblock that is physically larger and heavier than a smallblock, gets worse gas mileage, is more expensive, but looks awesome, then it better make up for those things when the light turns green. That's all. I'm not trying to start a bigblock-smallblock war, as I have both...bigblock Suburban (496) and a smallblock Camaro (406).
Anyway...back on topic, I vote for LS7, it's lighter, it's a screamer, and with a couple small changes (cam-mainly), you're at 600 reliable horsepower.
