The 455 Pontiac's stroke suggests that it would have had more low end torque. And on
the street, torque monsters were a force to be reckoned with. The Stage1 Buicks are fine
examples. Take the 440 SixPack versus the Hemi, being forced to run someone down on
the top end isn't much fun
on the street.
A sharp tune also makes a difference. Is it fair to say that Chevies are more sensitive?
