Re: 383 Stroker
The BB SB weight difference is meaningless unless your attempting to shave weight from somthing that only sees 1/4 mile at a time. I know what your saying all too well from the track but it's like you take you buddy for a spin in your truck and notice a huge reduction in power. We know this doesent happen unless you stuff 9 drunk chearleaders in a claped out Celica and it wont go above 40.    Notice 3 winks and 9 girls  .
A BB is better suited for building a power plant in almost any situation. Cubes are cubes and the engine with the ability to suck down air and fuel at a greater rate will always make more power per revolution. This is why you almost always see amazing tq numbers with very mild BB builds.
