Nobody has mentioned the 302 yet. Does anyone out there have great success in the 1/4 with it? It's small, light, and higher revving, which may help with getting traction down.

I haven't dyno'd my car yet. Hoping to find a local one soon and give it a shot, so I know what my "baseline" is. My engine is a Jasper H.O. 302 w/Edelbrock Performer intake, 650 Edelbrock Carb and upgraded ignition. Anyone have a setup like that and have dyno'd it?

I fully admit I LOVE the BB sound. My mechanic has a Cobra with a 514 BB, and the sound is intoxicating. But to me, I think it might get to be too much over the long haul. Sometimes I like to just cruise in "stealth" mode, as much as a Cobra can be stealth. I don't need to shake the earth every time I hit the gas. Plus, I autocross, so the weight and balance are an issue I considered.
