Magnum VS Hemi

If you're on a tight budget build a Mag.

I'm currently building a Indy headed 434 small block, in reality it should be in the 650-675 HP range on pump 93. My next engine (if there is one) will be a stroked Gen 3, for more reasons than a far better head, the block is much stronger too. Not only do the heads have superior flow, the combustion chamber is more efficient also. I know of two Gen 3s that are running in the 9s on pump 93 and neither of them are nearly as cantankerous as my 434 will be.

I guess on the outside looking in I was never impressed by 426" supercharged gen IIIs in 4500 lb cars running with 408" supercharged Daks people whose owners talk about being over 4100lbs. I fail to see the potential in built cars running with trucks featuring as much investment in the whole project as in the car's engine.

It's far less common to see small blocks with boost like most of the faster gen IIIs have.
