Glad to see your going down the road less traveled.
I think you'll be happy with the 300. The trick to it will be getting it to have power at higher RPMS. It can handle the Rev's, just dont make a whole lotta power that higher. You definatly will have quite a few advatages in the 4\6 class....
1- You'll have the biggest common gas 6 cylinder built (So no one can beat you in cubes)
2- While you do need high end horsepower in mud drags, you still need alot of torque to spin those big tires up to speed quickly, which is where the 300 is going to shine. If it were me id concentrate on making the best use of the 300's biggest strong point, low end torque. Concentrate on smoking people so bad off the line they cant catch ya.
3-Durbilty, your going to have a helluva time blowing that thing up.
4- Showing people that the 300 has potential.
Have fun and let us know how it turns out!
later,
Dustin
