I hear people say things like this and I respect your opinion but I feel there's a lot more than just eye washed involved and running a small block six pack. Number one being the rarity and the complexity to keep it running in top shape is definitely a level above throwing a four barrel on a high-rise, secondly a six pack properly tuned will run with any combo to around 500 horsepower where in my opinion it begins to reach some limitations. Yes I would never pick it for Max output at the track but I run a street car and the overall presentation means a lot to me. But if your budgeting performance per dollar by all means a six packs small block is the most amount of money for the least amount of upgrade HP that you could make. But then again I don't shop at Walmart either lol
