Wed, 07 May 2003 01:43 i know what your saying, and i'm a lover of smaller capacity engine but... take a 350 (roughly 1950's design, pushrod and all the rest) and take something like a 4A-GE... keeping them both NA and bring each up to exact specifactions of eachother - tecnology wise, and invariably you'll extract more power out of the 8 ppl keep going on and on about how thee small capacity engine will make so much power, i've never seen a 18R pushing a top feuler down the strip... have you? *this is not to say they dont make some awesome power tho* keeping this is mind, i still dragged my 18R corona up till a few years ago and kept constant 15's for most of its life, unlike the 4000-5000 hp 'giants' who need a rebuld every 5 runs or so, plus i didnt have the luxury of nitromethane or methanol the 'no replacement for displacement' rule does kinda ring true in some instances, but i prefer to look at it as the more feul your can burn the more power you produce and a 454 with 56 cubes per pot will burn a shit laod more feul than a 18R with 30 cubes per pot... also, ppl have been dragging 350, 426, 427, 383, 308 for a long stime now, longer than any small capacity engine will, hence more 'go fast bits available, but i think it'll a fukin long time before we see a 1.6L pull a 4.8 second quarter, turbo or no turbo in short, if australia had the same design conditions as japan, i'm sure that we would have a 350 that would pull 12's from factory and run on a thimble full of petrol now and again... btw, i own an RA28 undergoing a 1G-GE transplant, so i'm not biased in any way, i just think ppl dismiss large engines becuase they are 'dinosaurs' or 'pushrod technology'... and if you think that way your a fuckin dickhead, put down you rice fours magazime and visit the drag once in a while, you may learn something [Report message to a moderator]
