Hello Guys
Me not being an engine builder or anything even close to one, I dont understand the relation between HP/Torque/RPMs etc.
To what I do know...
In a muscle car, that weighs alot, if its a purpose built circuit car, better of going small block as it weighs less and can make huge power.
On other hand big block has a flatter torque curve making it more fun on the street in a sense (But sacrifices handling due to weight)
Now in a GT40 which weighs nothing, big block or small block it still weighs nothing and the added weight of a BB might be favourable as it will give it some extra grip with that extra weight on rear wheels, however wanting a full alloy block etc, theres not gonna be much weight difference at all.
Now
Why would I option to go with a small block over a big block, in terms of... Small Block provides more RPMs than a big block...
Why would someone want more RPMS when I can get 600hp out of a big block...
Yes a small block will be a hotter motor to produce 600hp, but why go small block 600hp High rpms vs big block motor, 600 hp low rpms?
Would the small block have more top end speed due to being 'more race like built' or power is the thing that dertermines top end speed not RPMs...
Hope u kinda get what im trying to ask... im finding it hard to write up.
