I will Stan, .....Dear DC the hemi has a sparkplug in the center of the combustion chamber a 481X does not. I hope this helps.

You wanted a race and Paul K was willing to drive close to half way to race you on the street, for a nice chunk of change. You made all kinds of excuses why you wouldn't/couldn't do it. Now you THINK he runs 10.90's and want to jump all over this race, for a price you balked on earlier?

Not where I was going with it Paul. Purely in terms of raw horsepower. Will the Proline do something the Hemi can not ? Say you need 3,000 HP to do what you want. Why buy the Proline when you can get pretty much any HP number with a Hemi or Brad.Anderson ?
Is it cost, what class you want to run ?
Where is the Prolines place ?

Your car lol. Should run 10.0's in anything. Then you won't have to convert your roll bar into a cage.
You can call it anything you want. It wasn't an oem design. (Closest to some Chev and Ford designs imo)

I'm not sure where you're going, I just answered Stan's question. Both engines have their place and both have pros and cons.... neither are my specialty, so hopefully someone more qualified can answer your questions.

Not where I was going either. What do they have to offer that is any better than Chevy,Ford or Mopar ?
There has to be some reason/advantage to buying one or they would not be in business.
By "place" I mean where they fit in the racing world?
Myself, I would not even think about buying one if I had that kind of coin. Who cares about "Proline" really. They don't make cars so its sort of like a version of a industrial engine but for racing, I think.

You really should use google before you make a post like this. That is how us keyboard racers would have done it if I didn't already know.

Check out AJPE he should be somewhere in your area.

While you were doing internet searches and posting about them I made it to the finals in Super Pro today, again.
And I would rather ask someone who knows more than me on subjects I am looking to learn about. People over computers, well most of the time.

What ever you need to tell yourself to feel good about yourself.

But anyone who has read this thread knows you showed (as normal) your lack of knowledge on just another subject.

I did actually try to help you. Like the old story abut giving a man a fish or teaching him how to fish. But you were just like that horse. While I am sure you do not understand any of this others will.

If you took runner up in s/pro without a delay box only tells me you’re racing against amateurs!! LOL! You wouldn’t last 2 rounds at milan. Just saying.
