I wish you guys could come down to the local cruise-in here just outside Detroit. There are quite a few built big-blocks that probably do run 11s or quicker on motor.

It's a shame, really. The old saying goes that there's no replacement for displacement. I like to modify that and say there's no replacement for displacement when it's built right. You can build up a big block and run low 14s or you can build one up and run high 9s.

The real question is: How fast do you want to spend?

Nevertheless, good kills. A kill is a kill is a kill. Bring whatcha got and run 'em.
