does more cubic inches mean more power? or are there alot of other things to consider?
i know for most motors its a give and take. some benefit from more rpm others benefit from displacement.
just because one has bigger motor doesnt mean more power. there are so many things that add up to hp. cubic inches can add hp but it can subtract too.
if he is going for peak hp the smaller motor might be better. i am sure the builders of this considered a 2.4 but went with a 2.0 for a reason. it doesnt lok like $$$ was the decideing factor
also i hate the record numbers. i can drop that same car on a different dyno with same tune and my dyno readout will show more hp. so i could break his record if all it takes is a sheet to have the record. any dyno expert will tell you the same thing.
i like measuring a cars d by racing not a dyno sheet.
good video and nice record breaker on the dyno. i just felt the need to ramble a bit. and i would like to here your opnion on why you would want to see it on a 2.4l
I said I was just curious to see what a 2.4 would look like on his setup. Would it be more reliable? More hp? Maybe. Would like to see a graph with this 2.0 compared to a 2.2 or 2.4 is all. money was most likely not a deciding factor i’m sure.
