My turn:

No doubt that most small blocks are faster at the road track, but how many of us bring our cars to the there? I can't believe it has taken close to 300 posts between both threads for somebody as stupid as me to bring this up.

A big block will always be more enjoyable to drive on the street than a high strung small block. The more torque and the lower the rpm that this happens at is what makes this fun. 98% + of us do not go to the road race track on this forum.

Don't take this wrong, I am truly a small block fan (Chevy that is). I worked for Chevy V-8 engine for 4 years. That plant produced 5,500 small blocks a day!

Only stating the facts: Big block for the street and drag strip, small block for road course.
