[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 726136, member: 4983"] There are definately areas of racing that exceed 2hp/ci but were not talking hobbiest level stuff. My question is how do you make these big HP numbers N/A and still have any kind of bottom end torque. These drag engines that are making 2+ hp a Ci are also doing it with huge head flow and giant cams that require 5,000+ stall converters. Most of these big hp engines make less torque than a stock LS below 3,000rpm, of course that doesnt matter in their intended drag race application. I know firsthand that an engine that makes big torque numbers but mediocre hp numbers will hurt alot of feelings. Build 400lb/ft at 3,000rpm and you'll have people swearing youre making 600hp.
