I appreciate your views. But, they are your views. I would suggest what I think is a race engine is far different than what you’d consider.
In fact, I suspect that what I call a basic street/strip (with very little focus on the strip part) engine would probably fall into your definition of a race engine.
And that’s the problem with every discussion of this type.
I don’t consider anything under 12:1 a race engine. That’s pump gas territory.
I think if you are building a street/strip engine and you aren’t at .580 lift you are pissing power away.
A 9 inch converter is a STREET/strip converter. Not a race piece.
IMO, the 4.56 may be the PERFECT street/strip gear.
So it can be clearly seen when guys start talking about 10’s and “street” I have to laugh, as some of those guys think the Air Gap is the best street/strip intake ever. It’s not. Not even close IF you understand what you are doing with a Strip Dominator. It will KILL the AG all day long.
