Also, you do realize that most of these “old tech” 350s don’t make more than 300 horsepower, while that’s where most of the new-tech engines *start*.
Of course, you *did* buy domestic, so I suppose you have a reason to think that “all new cars are too hard to fix and are crap.” They’re not, really.
I've never had any trouble putting tuners to bed. Hopping lights, quarter-mile, or whiskey runs, and all I've ever run is Old Skool. Last I saw, the top drifter was an old Camaro running a porker. They turn fine, at least my last one did. You can after market a lot of performance into the old stuff just fine.
And where did you hear that an old skool 350 won't put out more than 300 ponies?
