Street Dominator

I know this has been discussed before but I missed this part or it wasn't mentioned . With the huge torque these engines make would it be bad to use one of these on the street ? My thought is killing a bit down low would maybe save a lil in tire cost

As well as how noticeable would it be since there is so much torque ? I do understand building an engine everything should work together.
Heck I have one so I would only be out gaskets and time if I don't like it.
Anybody go from one of these to a dual plane ?

If your talking BB engine, you won't miss a little bit of torque down low. The SB Olds with a higher compression ratio say 9.5:1 and a mild cam with a quick advance curve. You'd have plenty of low end torque. I wouldn't be afraid. The runners are tuned for high velocity. A plenum divider plate can help cancel reversion between cylinders.
