WHEW!!!! YOU BOYS KNOW HOW TO BICKER!
So, I'll "set the record straight"
1. I asked a general question about what are the highest flowing SBM heads compatible with a stock block. I'm a curious guy. I find it interesting, and hey, maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can learn something from those who know. Anyhow I think I have a good general direction and approach to this, should I go that route. Plenty to consider. Just because I don't have a 100% definite direction with my build right now doesn't mean I don't want to learn more so I can start planning.
2. I love going fast and seeing people play with all kinds of cars. Expensive, high dollar builds, hell yeah. Cheap, take some shortcuts but still go fast builds, hell yeah! Hemi swaps, LS swaps, 2JZ swaps, old school, new school, love it. Does it make big power, go fast , straight line or in Twisties, and is novel and interesting? Bring it on!
3. I definitely don't have the wealth of Mopar/drag car experience probably 60% of you do. Maybe a higher percentage, but there's a lot of fake posers in Internet land. New and old school. So that's why I'm here asking questions. I'm not pretending I'm something I'm not.
4. Am I on a budget? Yeah sure. There's a lot of reasons for that, that I will not go into on a $@&!ING internet forum. But I'm definitely in the "high earner" category. So over time as my financial position hopefully improves that'll change. That said, regardless of my budget, I still love big buck and low buck builds and have an appreciation for it, regardless. Even if I make it big, I'll still do **** like "low buck 360 build" because it's fun.
5. I don't mind learning more about the modern hemi stuff. I wouldn't want a pig of a modern challenger or charger for a drag car or a weekend cruiser, but the powerplant definitely has a lot going for it and is something I'll consider in the future.
6. I have, driven and ridden in very fast cars and motorcycles. So I do know what a high power car is and what power to weight means. Fastest car I've been in weighed about 600 lbs and head close to 200 hp. So the equivalent, power to weight, of a 2700 lb/900 hp car. I'm sure some of you have been in faster. That's cool too! But that was a track car not a straight line deal. The lateral g's it could pull would make you **** your pants.
7. For me, it's all about having fun, learning, making friends and enjoying the experience. So that's what I'll keep doing. I'm not gonna lie though some of you are a bit ragged around the edges and I would hope you aren't so obnoxious in real life. Maybe some of y'all should go on a little retreat together, you might actually like each other's company, and learn at the same time!
Anyhow, I'll go back to work now. Too much to do.
