marcoscsx2131,
No matter, an FE will produce to 1400 HP on gas w/ NOS, where do you stop?
Whether Chevy, Ford or what, if you take a small block NASCAR at even steven rules, they will be within a few HP at the range desired.
That said with the new restrictions for instance in NASCAR, we will see engine built expressly for "a track" to give them what they need on what surface/tire/torque/?? for a specific.
It will be 2005, the year of the NASCAR engine building companies!
By the way, if Chevy was as tough as you note, then they would own the SS/SA class and such, not the old FE powered FORDS that usually dominate the big boy stock classes.
