How does cid make power?
@273 I think your question has been answered several times very well.
Let's just break this down to the 410 vs 360, which represents the average type build of a guy with a credit card and a summit catalog :) Funny how we both think this shows each of us are right. Now most everyone says adding a decent amount of displacement will add torque which we all know it does 100% of the time but also says a decent amount of hp will also be gained, with a gain of 50 cid a 14% cid gain should add a good amount of hp to peak and power curve if people are right.
So my question is where's the hp gain ?
And why didn't it happen here ?
If someone can answer this reasonably well then I'd say it's been answered.
410 - 362.5 hp under the curve avg, 1.05hp/1.17lbs-ft per cid, +2% peak hp
360 - 361.2 hp under the curve avg, 1.18hp/1.23lbs-ft per cid
410 - 3000=250 3500=310 4000=365 4500=399 5000=420 5500=431hp
360 - 3300=252 3800=315 4300=360 4800=399 5300=418 5800=423hp
