Default reality of it...
Tony,
I like Big Blocks... but if it makes you feel any better about your choice to stay SB, I once saw a Red 289 FIA with Webbers kick the crap out of everything (including a few 427SC comp cars) at Willow Springs raceway a few years back. The guy would go to the front for a few laps to show who was boss, then let everyone pass him, and start all over again making his way to the front quickly. There were a few GT40s, and couple of heavily modified Mustangs in the mix too. When it came down to who owned the track that day, everyone knew about that little Red 289 FIA with Webbers, and wow did it sound very cool! It sure made an impression on me. Have Fun.
