So on the weekend i ran into a random guy and we started talking about inlines. He mentioned to me doing a 261 was a waste of time. Granted it just one guys opinion but he said if my 235 was running correctly going to a 261 is pointless. The gains are so minimal and not work the effort and money he said. He had one in a old car he had a long time ago.

This swap over from my 235 to the 261 really worth my time and money? I have never had the chance to feel what a 261 go like so im going into this build blind.
