Yeah I get your point but I am trying to duplicate my 455 engine because I don't really want to make any more power than I did before for a few reasons. I was already low 10's with the 455 engine. I know with more compression and a bigger cam would put me well into the 9's.
1. Don't want to put in a cage and window net
2. Currently running the largest tire that fits in the stock wheel well (28X10.5X15) MT drag slick and I don't want to tub it and if I go much faster I will need a bigger tire.
3. The more power you make the more parts you break so I will sacrifice speed for a longer lasting engine.
4. Bigger cam and more compression more RPM now I need to higher stall converter.
5. Bigger tire oh now I need to tub it, oh now I need more gear, now I am overpowering my suspension, and on and on...
If I had a much larger budget for my toy I'd love to go faster and faster but it's not in the cards
That's my plan and I'm sticking with it.
