Great points. I'm surprised some numnuts hasn't come in and gotten his panties in a bunch yet. Somebody knock on some wood.

I totally agree that usable power is far better than a peaky power curve that only looks good when you use one number to describe your car.

N/A cars aren't as easy to build as some may think. It's about displacement, compression, revs, and fuel. Some cars have oodles and oodles of parts sitting in every shelf from Walmart to Jegs. That makes it easier to build. Also the length of time the base motor has been around helps because you have a large data base to start from. Small block domestics are a good example of that.
