As 318 owner on the 1/4, wasting your time with a stock vehicle. Especially
it is only a .25 slower than the 5.9.

This Dyno stuff doesn't do much fer me, just can't git excited much about
it.
I really don't care if I got 102 HP or 1002 HP as long as I get to the end
of
the 1/4 ahead of the opponent then I'm a Happy Camper. The 4.7's are looking
pretty perky but these 318's and 360's been doin a good job fer years and we
know what they can take. We don't know if the 4.7's are of the same caliber
when it comes to durability, longevity and modifications.
I do know I for one hain't a feardin a no 4.7 and I'd bet there are a few
more 318/360 owners thinkin the same way. The biggest concern I got right
now
is whether these new glasses are a stong enough prescription to be able to
focus in on any of then 4.7's front ends when looking in my rearview mirror.
BAHAHAHAHA
Ole BillyBob 318's ferever :-)
