I'll note that as a younger kid I was first attracted to these cars because I was heavily biased towards BB's.

I will throw another class of racing in to the mix. My friend races Pro-4 (Trophy Trucks) and ran a BB for years and was getting smoked by the big boys with the big dollars running SB's. He is now running a SB like the big money guys. Not only was his BB running slower lap times, but it was not reliable. |

Different class but the exact same engines. My engine builder, Pro Power Racing, is one of the top builders in both dirt Late Model and off road trucks. Their 430-447 cid SB are over 870hp/750tq.

HP in a Ford Small Block
I had a professional shop in Orlando freshen up an old 340 ci R block (302) for me for my ex race 66 Shelby GT350. I told him, big Hp, reliable, needs to run on pump gas. It had been a high compression 110 octane guzzling 590 HP steroid build.
At the end of the day, I had a R block 302, bored .030 over...roughly 345 ci, Canfield heads..and produced as I recall 560HP on the engine dyno...and runs on pump gas.
The build is 4 years old. I drive the car every weekend in sunny Naples Florida....and has been 100% trouble free.
550hp with a modern SB build is almost ..common. 4 years ago..it was kind of cutting edge. Nothing slows progress......
I am not an engine expert, but the people I trust have told me...spend the money on the heads, so I did that and have not been disappointed.
