So then you're on a mission to blow 1000's of dollars on something just to prove a point to people who already know you can make anything fast with enough money and don't really care about your opinion anyway? Awesome...

Re: 383 Stroker Vs. 454 Big Block

You sound way to interested in just building something fast to prove a point than actually focusing on what needs to be done to do that safely.

have you given any thought to how to safely stop that faster than anything on the street car, or to how you will keep the truck driving safely at that speed?

Its all fine that you want to build a second truck - but your going to have to do alot more than just throwing a big motor in there. No-one building a car that fast should even consider putting the necessary motor in until they have finished building everything else to suit it first. (Brakes, Suspension, Frame, Roll Cage, Wheels and Tires, Upgraded Fuel System, Steering....The List covers just about everything.)

I am not saying that your goal is unattainable - or that you will have to address everything on that list - but you need to at least think about these things.
