Sb2.2 is sexyyyy, same with side oiler! People will look at mine and be like, "meh, looks like a normal sbc".

Hey man I'm just glad you came over to this forum.

Yeah don't kid yourself. That is one bad biatch. Those 15* heads may not look exotic but they dominate mine AND Rob's fat heads.

No go on Laguna Seca... our cars are WAAAY too loud to pass sound there.

But I like the idea of meeting in the middle.

Hey I'm looking to muffle mine enough to get on that track

I'd meet in the middle but first I need to get the car to run. The dyno is only step one.

We'll determine domination when they all run and we meet in the middle

DG you are dominating the ppoll, you better deliver or your bowtie fans will lynch you.

Well played sir, that will silence the ZL1 smack for a bit

I'll be doing the benchmark lap in a couple days. Should I send the dyno sheets in PDF direct to Mike to help him plan your build?

Hey Mike doesn't need any extra motivation. He is already telling me to run race gas and raise the compression. I am trying to keep this fair.

That's a given. You'll step down three sizes on the head gasket, might as well deck the heads a bit...

Fords & Pump gas are for the tow vehicle. Nothing like the smell of race fuel in the morning, 14.5 comp & VP 14+ FTW

Good luck Rob. Better you first than me.

The arguments and statements put forth here are hilarious....

We all know that motors are purpose built. It's very difficult to have big numbers and street ability... from the same engine. Everyone knows that cubic inches make great torque numbers... but cubic inches usually weigh more...

Seriously - these arguments have been going on since the beginning of motors. I wouldn't want to race against a small cube high winding F1 engine... I think they'd beat me. I wouldn't want to drive it in traffic though.

I love the torquey big inch - small Dart 180 head - wide LSA cammed motor in my heavy Nomad...

I love the big inch small block Ford that's in the Mustang.... COMPLETELY different uses! Completely different "reliability" (Ford is already broken!)...

My point is I love them BOTH! But for different reasons....

If you want to build a disappointing - EXPENSIVE engine... build a Mopar.

I don't think you'll get one argument on that ^^

This poll and discussion is more about the man vs the motor.

Nice dig on the Mopars.
