Drew, we should change the plugs sometime soon. I just changed mine at 28k, and they were going south. damn tubro cars. I also put in a new purge solinoid too, that made things much better.
N/A is great, if you know how to drive it. And Lifter, if I get the NA that is sitting in my garage done, only Dirty and Mr. Miller will keep up with it
But my money for gas won't. Those darn BBC motors in old cars.
Ok, guess I am an old man around here. Just turned 35.

Drew, sounds good.
I love the torque from the Big Block, I just hate feeding it. On the highway it only gets 10mpg, at 60mph. If an NA motor is setup correctly, it will run great.
The reason I like the SS/TC is the low end torque. It pulls good low and when you let it wind up it still goes. it is also nice getting over 30 mpg on the highway.

At this point I'd rather have 250whp @ 2000rpms and 250whp @ 8000 rpms than 4whp @ 2000rpms and 530whp @ 8000rpms...

My Evo is a 2.0L 4 cylinder. Its 530whp. It gets about 10mpg as well on a good day. Torque is delivered between the "back to the future" future all the way up to the "star trek: next generation" future"

The BBC has about 600 ft lbs of togues (Top Gear is on!!!!) and all of that comes in low, about 3000 rpms. The HP is around 550, and it pulls all the way to 7k. 
Nothing like a BBC pulling hi rpms.
Turbo lag, oh then I should put a supercharger on the car then? i only see it when I sit in fifth at about 45mph, then I just down shift and the wife starts to complain. Then the daughter starts to laugh.
We could have Drew plan a meet in August, but then it might rain.
The Bugatti had a CEL on, and the McLarean looks like fun. My fat but would have trouble getting into the center of that car.
