Low compression "build" and cruise rpm?

The thing back in the day about racing a big block anything on the street or out on the blacktop was traction and tires were balancing factor. A lot of the BB cars were traction limited and the small blocks could use it to their advantage. But as soon as someone showed up with a set of slicks on the big blocks ruled.
You can get a pair of drag radials and work on the suspension, springs, shocks etc and have a woop *** ride…
