That's Cool!

I had that wrong. It's the Wenzels that are still racing their '67 Z28 they bought brand new.
It's h3ll to have crs.

The LS6 was killer but in a heavy Chevelle. While tires had to be a limiting factor my money would be on the all aluminum L-88 in a Corvette or Camaro.

Speaking of 7000 rpm, I remember one of the rich kids around town had a '64 Chevelle 327 (before the advent of the Mark lV BB) worked on by a very good mechanic. He was determined to get 7000 out of his "solid lifter package". I remember hearing him take out of a gas station and while his tach may have eventually hit 7000 it had long laid over with valve float. But his ego demanded 7000.

Even though I was a GTO man back in the 70's,this should give you a good idea of what you need to know.......https://www.motorious.com/articles/news/chevelle-ss-buick-gs/ ...................................................... 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454 LS6 vs 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 | Stock Drag Race

Neither of those cars is showroom stock as they came off the assembly line 50 years ago and neither could run a sub 13 second 1/4 mile.
