Ok, my 2 cents; I'm a bracket racer so I obviously don't like nitrous(too inconsistent), or blower(hard to keep engine cool when hot lapping in later rounds), turbo(too much heat in eng comp and inconsistent too) or being under carb'd.(weather changes effect the motor more)
Watched MANY guys think if they cut a bad light they can make it up with a little hit, then they break out.
Chev 6cyl are bad for detonation so I wouldn't run one of them.(or anything other than a ford for that matter)
Raced against many Buick GN's and was impressed with their times...but they were never around in the later rounds.(and they sound like hairdryers on crack) :roll:
Racing my 300 last year I found it quite consistent, BUT, depending on how hard you held the pedal on the floor, would change the shift point from 4000 to about 4200-4300. That extra 300rpm was after it nosed over and would slow the truck 4 or 5 thou.
All the nitrous, turbo's, other crap, etc, is only usefull in heads up racing. And any time you have heads up racing it boils down to one thing $$$$$$$!!!!
You do whatever you want to your 4cyl and I'll build a 6cyl, you get a 6,I'll get a 8,you get a $10,000 small block, I'll beat you with a $15,000 bigblock........who ever has the biggest cheque book wins......whatever,not for me.
I'd like to find a 60-61 Falcon with a 6 and auto, put in 4.86's and slicks and have fun CONSISTENTLY!
Well...that was more than 2 cents....but the dollar up here is only worth 65 cents so I had to make the most of it!!
