How much power are those 7 and 8 sec. cars putting down?... chances are you can get as much power out of a turbo'd 370

BBCs have gone that quick and quicker for years. It's no big deal for a BBC to make over 2,500hp.

OR

a. because they don't feel like driving two hours to the nearest drag strip
b. because there isn't a suitable place within the city to actually go from a stop
c. they aren't really setup for the drag strip
d. there not ga-ga over racing at the track

Just sayin

This thread went down the tubes. . . . . . . Who fricken cares about bbc being faster or not. I don't. Lets stay on topic, I would say the ops original question has been answered and answered well.

Or....

Because they're running a turbo that's hard to launch but does well from a roll (most ricers).

Here's a teaser. My aluminum 572 pump gas street motor before the nitrous kit (the thing on top is a carburetor). The black one in the background is a 502 for my 68 shortwide...
