My Point is just why have max power where you do NOT use it. For a street engine this makes no sense, and costs more money.
Fact>> In this "street" section people get "influenced" into a DRAG built engine.., and FEW actually do drag race.
I have met many people that say they "wished they had Not built their motor at 11:1" or solid lifters, or forged pistons, etc..
On the Street DRIVEAVILITY is Job #1
I am all about "excitement" but I wouldn't put a 9 ton AC system in a house that only needs a 3 ton system.... just to
say my house has "This" .
Maybe it is just about bragging rites ??
