Second, on top of these "disadvantaged" engines(compared to the competition), they almost never use a supercharger on the higher end cars. i.e. Monte Carlo, Impala, Corvette, and most Camaro's, they achieve amazing power with pure displacement! I love the General....
The forigners are always pushing out as much power as they possibly can through dual blowers, and Cam advancement, and a whole host of other things because they don't know how else to get the numbers we gain relatively easily...
It makes me feel like I picked the right side...

 What is the line? " There is no replacement for displacement!"
