ET'S with ported J/or other iron heads SB

Here is my thing. Everyone that quotes their friends car always says "he runs XX.XX with .444 lift". You know why, it's because it's the "wow" factor. Sounds like somebody is the guru's guru! They never say my friend run XX.XX with ____ gears, and ____ converter, and _____ duration and leave out the lift.
And owns a trailer to take it to the track and a truck to pull it...
I know that's my point that I'm making these are exceptional cars...
