small block, big block?

In most cases, its not about BIG power. Its driver ability,car setup and getting the power to the ground. I have seen it time and time again.

An avg driver shows up to the track with a top dollar vehicle, 300 engine, mega $ radio and gets SMOKED by a low dollar, well prepared racer.

I seriously doubt that even ported and polished high £££ engines will be pushing 40 - 50,000rpm under load. I think if you measured the rpm of the engine running in a car/truck you'd be sadly disappointed.
