CALLOUT- LT1UltraZ vs. Evolunchbox

Yes.. you are correct.. we are going in circles.. we both agree displacement rules. 2 supra motors stuck together in a v12 configuration would have the advantage over 1. Faster spool, more torque, more overall ability to make power (500hp/l * 6 liters?) heck of alot more. But it wouldn't really be necessary if your goal wasn't to make as much power as easy as possible.

We don't HAVE to get 500 hp/l, altho there are v8's out there making just as much that could technically be considered streetable.. if a 2500-3000hp car can be considered streetable Dan millen has driven his to get a cheeseburger on low boost before... with the advent of turbochargers any horsepower level can be streetable at low boost.. then turn it up to race. You can even run high octane in another set of injectors, and pump on one set.. you can do any combination of things to make the car technically streetable.. the main thing imo that isn't streetable is the chassis.

Which is why you won't see many 6-7 sec street cars.. altho I've heard rumors of a few 7 second ones being out there.

I tend to agree if your goal is just to run mid 11's, you can do it in any platform.. even a pinto, albeit it may not be as easy as.. a stall convertor, drag radials, and a 150
shot.. or a pulley/tune/catback and drag radials.

But if you plan to eventually run 9's in a street car.. then I think we can both agree that a 1.8l probably isn't going to be your easiest route.. and likely not a 2.0 or 2.2.. not to say it isn't possible.. but any number of more cubic inches is only gonna make it easier.. hell a 500 cubic inch motor only making 95hp/l could do it on pump gason motor no problem in a 3000-3300lb car.. much less nitrous or forced induction.

I'm not really trying to argue.. that the v8's are the best setup ever.. although I do favor it, simply due to the amount of displacement possible. I'm more arguing, that just because I like MORE power, does not make me white trash redneck imbred sister fucker.. No matter how many names you can spout.. you will always have to remember one simple thing.. and that is displacement is king..

I to, am done rambling.. just killing time til the race Among the other list of 1 million things I need to be doing.

Peace,
