STL engine builds?

[Chip42]

Chip, I understand all that... I'm trying to get to a base answer, and then from THERE we can debates the little stuff.

I know you know - hell everyone still reading this thread (all 6 of us) knows. we also all know that there's no answer that is always right. because specifics matter, and the rule is blind to them. I'd take the RWD car so long as it was no more than 10% heavier, that's 235 lbs, just because I think it'd be a better car over the race, even if it din't qualify as well or even win in your hypothetical race.

the IT rules seem to work, and I'll say it again - I think it's because everything is so imperfect that it all works out in the wash. engine swaps and stiffer chassis start to correct for that so ST is less forgiving to hatpulls.
