The main reason that most people build these engines is the fact that they are rated very soft.You can build one and qualify #1 just about anytime you really want too if you have a good car,if thats your thing.The combos you are talking about can actually afford to get hit and still go very far under the index.Thats why people build them,not because they think 305/307's are great engines.If there was a 350 that was rated that soft I'm sure folks would be building that instead because everyone wants to chase,not get chased..
