How does cid make power?

Yup, Confirmed. Your head is stuck in race engines only.


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.
