Not to steal the post but I know what you mean. I had a mildly built Olds BB in the 70... I really miss it. I keep feeling that my SBC just isn't running right. It's smooth and will chirp 2nd gear but it isn't the tire boiling truck I used to have.

mechanic350: Power adders like blowers, turbos and NOx are great and becoming very reliable and streetable. They do add more things to break and maintain.
