How does cid make power?

No it isn’t. That’s what you want to believe. And you make a bad assumption.

My point was exactly what I said. “Race” engines need to be defined. I expect you are a guy who thinks anything over 6k is a “race” engine. Maybe in your world, but not in reality.

Today 7k is NOTHING. So why pull an engine all they way down to 3k? All you are doing is putting a load on the engine is should never see. What kind of asshat is driving around at 20 MPH in high gear and then goes to WOT??? That’s about as idiotic as it gets.

All that gets you is detonation and broken parts. Or you have to lower the compression (lose power) or use a higher octane fuel than you really need (lose power).

Yup, confirmed. You have horse and buggy thinking. Time to move forward.

So who brought up the Comp Eliminator and Pro Stock engines. Yes I brought up F1 engines only to illustrate the difference in displacement, torque and HP. I also mentioned large industrial and marine engines to illustrate the other side of the coin.
No worries about the horse and buggy comment, even if they do have their place. Actually still used a lot in eastern European countries. I am fully aware you can go out and unload a pocket full of cash and come home with an American built supercharged car off the showroom floor that develops 700+HP and revs to 7500 or more RPM.
You also chewed out another poster for not understanding your viewpoint and thinking over 6k RPM must be a race engine. Possibly it is time you consider it is you who does not understand.
3,000RPM for most engines built for street use as a start of a dyno run is not lugging the engine. For a race engine designed to run to 9500+ RPM, maybe so.
