Well, if you have that kind of money, then run one!!! I sure as heck don't!!! The 7500 RPM engine can make more power....Especially if it's a 408 stroker vs. a 351 stock bore. Small cubes require a lot of rpm and a big budget to make horsepower... Big inch engines built with more economical parts will make big torque.. Torque is much cheaper to build then horsepower. I guess to the millionaires in the crowd, high RPM small inch engines are no big deal. The reason the pro cars don't blow every run is that they can afford the good parts!!!!

And, as I said before, you can't compare Top Fuel, Pro Stock and Stock Eliminator engines and the components they use with a 283 running stock parts and an aftermarket piston.....
