i get what you're saying. all things being equal, it all comes down to know-how and self-honesty. however, for many, it's all egos, self-delusions and plain stupidity. many people don't seem to want to accept that there is a difference between a street car, a streetable car, a raceable car and a race car. compromises can be made, but at the risk of sounding self-righteous, if you look at a 700 HP 13B Rx-7 and think "4 season daily driver", then you're probably an idiot.

forget the 20B arguments for a minute. one of my pet peeves on the other board has always been the insistence by some people to go out and buy JC 13Bs for FBs and FCs because they need the "extra strength" for the BNR Stage 2 or T04S projects. a little bit of extra time and careful application would net good results on a S4 or S5 13BT - bottomline is you could build a really FAST car with those "lesser" blocks. it vexes me to no end when those same retards report back a month later - Cosmo engine all blown to shit ... at a whopping 340 HP.
