I agree Brent. More cubes = more power. Like mentioned, the NHRA, especially with the IHRA, the "mountain motors" rule.
This is unreal. A sprint car team up in Pa. built a billet,......aluminum block & heads in the outlaw class, and it has 820 cubes and 1,050 HP. !
I don't recall the bore & stroke but, it's massive. They ended up outlawing this engine.
With my new side oiler motor, I can't decide with either 482 cu. or 496 ?
Everyone seems to using the 482, and I want something different without going too wild.
At first, I thought about 527 cu. but, I don't want to max out the cylinder walls being too thin, making more heat and and not being able to rebuild without adding sleeves.
Another point, which I may get some come backs, (and don't care)
but it's also a matter of fuel mileage. It would take out all the fun of driving , if I only get 8 mpg. Got tired of my Pro-Street Camaro, only getting 6 mpg.
More cubes = more gas.
