    there are a ton of variables that can affect a motor and how it performs against another motor..... a high compression motor doesn't mean its properly tuned, or even part matched. all that squeezing of pressure doesn't help much if everything else isn't letting the pressure move freely in and out.....

    besides that the weight of a car, transmissions, gear ratios, wheel/tire size, aerodynamics and driver affect everything as well
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    yes that is why i will not add to much to it all has been said .i will say that the engines i build are not world beater. i do spend more time were other do not? every thing adds up. i like to see them stay together .i am in to building the best for the money that my customer has to spend. i have some very hi cr engine out there .my customer never say much on how well they do .all i know is there still out there running
