400 hp 5.2l vs 5.9l Magnums

Agreed. He crutched a 318’s weaker output with more gear is the way to go- no argument. How he states what he did his a run & hide - smoke and mirror show side stepping the 318’s lack of power and then claiming in a way it’s all a wash with gearing when the topic is power.

Further BS is hiding the fact with more smoke and mirror with chassis issues which are not the starter topic of engine power but just a way to beef up what is not there. It’s illusion.
Why would you compare with same gearing no one would ever recommend the same gearing for both of these engines it's hot rodding 101 that the 318 will need more gear and stall to get it into it's powerband to say otherwise is wrong and arbitrarily handicapping the 318 with an unnecessary expectation to have to be compared with same gearing, it makes no sense to do so.
