[70CitrusZ]

Brute straight line acceleration owing to torque.
Fight goes to BBC.
Singing the song of revs,turnin the twisty mountain hiways,
Fight goes to SBC.
I'm sorry, but I haven't found a big block car that keeps up to me in the twisty's.

Gotta love em both, but two different animals.

Having said that, every time I got in my last Malibu, I revved my mech. roller 427 (stock gm steel crank, stock dimple rods ..albeit the full meal prep deal,, to 8500.

As I bought it used, It also had been beat on prior to my ownership, with a 300hp hit of nitrous, and the ungodly revs.
It never missed a beat or broke any parts while I owned it, so if its built to rev, there's no reason to hold back.

Now, granted that may not apply to stock or restoration BBC's and/or 454's because of the longer arm....

Pedal to the metal!!
