[SmallHurst]

I have heard that about small torque/ high horsepower small blocks.... Wind them up till they are screaming for mercy and pull another gear!!!!

I had a friend that did something like this. Tube frame Vega, sheet metal interior, 327 bored to 331, twin Holleys on a hi-rise, full roller valve train, 5.33 gearing, going through the 1/8th mile at about 8K!!!!!!!!!!!
