Again, I am not saying you can't make big power on the BBC platform. With any NA motor, if you have comprable heads for the ci (flow enough for the ci), the right cam and combo, a bigger cube motor should make more power, period. I just see too many bad big block combos to be an advocate of the big block craze. I'm not drinking the cool aide, but then again a lot of you big block guys aren't drinking the LS cool aide.. To each his/her own. That's what makes this sport fun!!
Just maybe you should consider drinking some of the coolaid, because that light weight, big tired truck of yours just might see some 9 sec NA passes, and still work the power brakes, 238@.050 hyd roller.
