Like comparing a Ferrari to a new V-6 Camero. Still a sick car just not the $$ into it the Ferrari does.

I was unaware they ran 4 cylinders in pro stock. I know they are limited to 500 cubic inch, 90*, NA V8 motors with no spray and if your car is a Chevrolet you have to run a Chevrolet motor, if a Ford then a Ford motor.
A 6.0 LQ4 makes 325 HP. A LS6 (big block 454) makes 450 HP and was installed at the factory in 1970 SS Chevelles. An L88 (big block 427) made an advertised 430 HP but was later proven to make close to 500 HP and those were installed at the factory in 1967 Corvettes. The LS7 (big block 454) made 465+ HP but could only be had as a crate motor. They all have single carb induction.
