Great points, all.
What about fuel usage? Given two identically set up motors (to the extent they can be with different breathing apparati), does one typically provide greater economy that the other?
I checked my mileage once on the hwy. I got 23mpg. Running 2500 rpms (80mph) from here to Middle Tn. I don't bother with in town mpgs .. my foot is always in it

In comparison .. I had a 67 FB Mustang I use to drive back and forth from here to Mid-Tn .. it was an auto and I usually ran close to 3k rpms (70mph) .. had a 289ci ... it avged 15-17 mpg.
