we have a 355 inch in a 302 block with brodex spec heads that is good on a slick track , but it don't weigh any more than the big alum motor, we do get a 100 lb break for it and like I said, its good in the slick, just not enough power on heavy track. whats weird, if we run it as a spec engine, we get no weight break, but if we run it as a 362inch or less, steel block with alum heads, we get 100lbs , and can do what we want to it. these are SAS rules , don't make sense to me, but ill take the little motor and 100lbs in the slick any day, JMO
