You're absolutely right; but not everyone is after maximum
dragstrip performance! Lots (maybe most) car nuts I know of are
after improvements, for fun, knowledge, and the satisfaction
of doing; getting another 25hp out of a modest little economy
six is a hell of a lot of fun, and it doesn't stress the car
or the wallet.

This part of the thread started with someone talking about
mild hop-ups on a 232ci six, vs. possibly a stock? 304ci v8 in
a Gremlin.
