Try thinking outside the box, Dude.

Small blocks have been around since 1955 and the big blocks have been around since 1965 and if you think you have ideas that nobody else has ever had then it shows how stupid you really are.
Wow, glad I never bought from you. Someone disagrees with you and you revert to name calling. I'm fully aware of how long and when each Chevrolet design debuted, but that makes no difference to this discussion, neither were built all aluminum at that time and a lot of advancements in part quality and testing has been done since then. Look if you make all your decisions strictly on what others are doing, wonderful, I'm glad that makes you feel comfortable and safe. All I'm saying is "maybe" a BBC is worth a look... 4 link suspension was a flop when it first came out and a lot of people went back to leaf spring setups and others. A few who believed something of benefit might still be had with the 4 link kept working at it and now 90-95% of all DLM's are 4 link.

Sounds an awful lot like, "When you think you have an idea, stop and remember if these guys aren't doing it, then you probably shouldn't because they're smarter..." Maybe you don't realize how you sound, I dunno. I understand why these guys don't run BBC, its heavier than an SBC and they have the resources to buy the best of the best, be as light as possible, but not everybody does. All I'm saying and I think a few others is that you can get the same kinda power the big guys have in a more durable, longer lasting package. Sure its heavier and you most likely won't need 1000HP, but perhaps a balance could be struck that's workable. We all get it, you don't like it, you think its idiotic and since the big names aren't doing it, it therefore must be a bad idea. Fine, have a great 2013.
Having said all that I like the CT525 as an option for weekly DLM's too, but some series like the SAS have already made rule changes that kill the chances for that combination to win anymore, by taking away the lower weight advantage.
