Sort of the same thing, but I remember a conversation with retired Chevrolet engineer Paul Pryor at Gainesville one year where I mentioned that the 70 Buick Stage 1 had the highest torque of any of the engines at 510 (the LS6 was 500). He immediately got a bit agitated about the games the different divisions were playing back then.
If manifolds are the issue for this combo and no one uses a stock manifold in stock eliminator with the exception of Gary Hampton, what?s the difference between the corvette and chevelle package?
