Which one has tires biting better? I thought some of the point of speed limit classes was to take the engine out of the equation? AaronSEIA

Generally, it's thought that a 4 cylinder lugs better than a 6 cylinder. In this case I don't know or really care. Even if you have identical everything (carb, ignition timing, compression ((which you didn't mention)), cam grind, cam timing, same exact fuel, same spark plug heat range, same ignition coil, same piston head design, etc, etc, etc...…. You fail to address the fact that one cylinder head may flow air better than the other one !!!!
I prefer to have my engine torque/power and gear ratios such that I don't expect to ever lug one down to a stall or near stall.
