Your suggestions please, I am jonesing to build.

I am that guy, don't race, mostly just joy rides, its just a toy. I like the feeling of massive gobs of torque, the thrill of driving a car with a lot of power. Is it practical? Absolutely not! But I get a smile on my face every time I take my car for a drive and to me that is what it is all about.
i agree. would never build a race gas motor however. when i finally get to it, i will have a 572 or so Hemi in my Dart, but it will not be a race gas motor. Roller cam and EFI yes, but no race gas stuff. I kind of feel that if it something you want, why not? You only live once......
