Tell me why they have 4 cylinders in those classes. Those 4 cylinders are pushing 1400+hp. LS is superior in the design to a BBC. No need for a 454 when the 6.0 makes more power then any stock 454 placed in an engine bay from the factory. NHRA pro stock is not a RAT, it is a kangaroo. Those engines are around $100,000. Like comparing a Ferrari to a new V-6 Camero. Still a sick car just not the $$ into it the Ferrari does.
