...Oh, and making torque.

But nonetheless, I like SR and I like KA. Both are good engines.
There are a lot of variables yes, but only to a point and how much power you wanna make.
So displacement really becomes an issue when wanting power?
Then why do F1 cars have 2998cc V10 engines that make 900+hp? 3 litre V10 is kinda small dont you think?
Anyways i dont want to turn this into a debate. I hope the thread starter is happy with what ever choice they made.

whats the purpose behind this drag car? or do u just want a car that can run 12's? u would really be better off with buying a cheap v8 car and throwing nitrous or something on than bulding an sr up to be that fast, yes sr's can be extremely fast, but for a lot more money than v8's can. i love my sr to death but i realize v8s have the advantage, but to me its just that much sweeter when i beat a car with double the motor as me, but it definately does cost $$$
I also get a kick out of beating a car with twice the moter i think its crazy. I love the 240 so thats why i was asking. I just wanted to make sure i could beat a mustang or corvet before i put my money into it.
