I like index racing, it has a heads up feel, is still bracket racing but it throws in the aspect that you have to tune your car to run that number.

What if you had a Small block 427ci engine had 600hp vs a big block 427ci engine that has 600hp There the same in Cubic inches so about the only difference is the power Curve. Is the big block 427 still better than the Small block 427 even though they make 600hp?????

For those that are saying it’s too expensive to run a big block you may have a valid point however how many videos did you see of him putting LS into how many cars or the same car? How much money did he spend there? He could’ve had one bad ass car by now.

I remember watching the videos but seems like you couldnt really make a clean pass with fools golds chassis, dont remember what you had for pwr management.
