  It's great to hear from some Chevy fans after hearing all of this foreign
car crap.  I have a Corvette with a tri-power 427 and I've really done a
few numbers on Porsche and BMW drivers.
  I obviously favor the big block, but not just for ultimate HP potential.
It can be built to be streetable and yet be a screamer when you stand on it.
The small block has to be built with one goal or the the other in mind.
In other words a 500HP Mouse is screaming while a 500HP Rat is loafing.

p.s. The tripower is a little tricky to get in synch but not as bad as
     its been reputed.  And I get about 14 mpg--up a few from my 4 barrel.
     All in all, a smooth performer.
