I joined this conversation to use my racing motor as an example of idle characteristics. I wasn't trying to say Gen III was better than everything else. There used to be a guy at my local track that had a brown '70 Duster with a built small block that would beat me every time. In my situation it was easier to go with the Gen III for racing, for various reasons, not the least of which was that I won the heads and the prep from B.E.S. by coming in 2nd place at a national event. It made sense to build a gen III since I had had free racing heads.
