Oh, I know. And if I wasn't so damn stupid / stubborn I probably would have sold all of my small block stuff by now and converted to a big block too. I just can't pull myself to do it though. It's the dummy in me wanting to be different.
Of course, if I had the money I build one kick-***** small block and run 9.90 @ 170 mph doing that. Of course, that would be just as stupid, because with that motor you'd be better off running Comp, and for the money you could build a big block that would run 9.90 @ 180 mph.
And don't even get me started on the whole aspect of my personality of not being able to leave well enough alone. Must......................Tinker.............
On a completely different note, Billy Leber passes along his condolences on the loss of your small block. I was at his house yesterday and your name came up in conversation, and he asked that I make sure that I told you that he said 'Hello'. He must really like you since he doesn't ask me to do that often. Though, I'm sure that will come to an end the first time he races you with the new combo!
