The MOPAR power myth?

Its true that the 426 Hemi untouched off the showroom floor ran equal to the big hitters from GM- LS-6, Stage One, Hurst Olds even the 440 6 bbl. But the Hemi came with so much more easily exploitable potential. The induction, heads and block of a hemi could produce so much more power with the addition standard go fast components- cam, headers and maybe a gear change. The others engines response to said components was no where near as productive. A moparts member years ago put it this way: "Its 1970 and all the big hitter big blocks are present. Stock they all run mid 13s. Put $500 into each motor in go fast goodies and watch the Hemi walk away from all of them."
