Dont think the 114 LSA was around many years. It sure isnt the one in their engine.
Wouldn't matter anyway. Crank horsepower doesn't always translate into ET. I often race a firebird that makes 200 more HP at the wheels than I do and runs 1/2 second slower in the 1/4.

I get what Roccodart440 is saying. There are cars that can make all kinds of rwhp, but either can't put it down because of tuning issues, or bad driving. And also, there are people who are either full of poo, or actually believe they are making a certain amount of power... I personally don't care about dyno numbers. I view a dyno as a tool. If you want to know what kind of power you're making, take the car to the track, weigh it and do the math. ;)
According to the initial post it is.
Exactly. My car weighs 3200 pounds and goes 11.70's @ 114 on street tires, pump swill and full exhaust. What are my dyno numbers? Guess what, never had anyone believe me when I tell them the answer.
The biggest tool the engine builders use to sell engines is the dyno numbers.........It happens right on this site too, post big HP numbers, but NEVER any results from the track. The only way to compare HP on a dyno, is back to back on the same dyno.
Their dyno room may've been ventilated* with an N2O rich environment ;)

ha ha ha ... wow...rack up them brownie points !Regardless of whether you believe the power output of the engine or not, it was a very informative write up on how to build one of these stroker engines. It was far more complete on how to check and assembly an engine than many of the other articles I have seen. Some of the people involved I will have to deal with in the future and I don't wish to excite their ire. I subscribe to Engine Professional Magazine because it does have some very in depth gasoline and diesel related articles.
It's all good. Any builder worth their salt will know criticism and skepticism come with the package of being publicized. If they're tender-footed now they'll get used to it fast...lol.
