I have a dilemma... I really love the 81-87's, and want to go either high 11's or at least low 12's. I am definately doing a Big Block and a SWB. I'd like though to not have to butcher the sh!t out of it and make it impossible to corner in or take on a road trip. I am lookin at the vortecpro motors, and I definatly lean towards the upper 600hp engines... Is that just way too much torque? Is a well built rank sbc a better way to go? Traction and weight are the biggest issues right? What can you all recommend I do? Thanks!
