Just weighing up the pros and cons of small vs big block
As a basher, the things I like about small block are:
-fuel economy (longer intervals before refueling)
-small mills tend to cost less
-small mills tend to cost less to rebuild
-don't mind the lower acceleration
Just a few questions though:
1) do small mills tend to last longer or shorter?
2) will my top speed decrease substantially from going from .18 to .12
3) are small mills harder to tune (cos they retain less heat etc)?
4) what are some good reliable .15s or .12s? I know OS is a good brand but they make so many types for any given size. I'm just after a reliable, cost effective mill which holds a tune very well and is cheap to rebuild or replace. No need for anything fancy like rotary carbs etc
Thanks
