Really?


And you have how many class wins with your big block Stock Eliminator engines? Because I have more than 1-2.


Oh, and I have a 9500 RPM+ 396-375 Super Stock engine as well.


Maybe YOU can't make a flat tappet Stock Eliminator engine run. That does not mean the rest of us can't. There are a ton of VERY fast big block Chevy stockers out there running flat tappet cams and having zero problems. Maybe you should ask yourself why YOU can't.
