OBJECTIVE comparisons of engines?

[cbrookre]

The question that was asked in this thread was stated as clearly as any question could possibly be stated. Moreover, there was a clear plea to the effect that the thread not be used for sharing their opinions and testimonials.

OK, I will bite here, what is the purpose of gaining the information that you are asking for? Generally people will go out of their way to collect the type of information you are asking for if there is a massive interest. How will this affect your decision? I can see that you are frustrated, but this is not a technical journal, it is a discussion forum filled with enthusiasts who like to talk about their experiences.

Maybe someone like American Muscle or Steeda or similar shops have the access to vehicle and knowledge to pull something like this off, but my specific question is this. How will having the exacting numbers that you are asking for affect your knowledge, or more importantly the decisions that you make from that knowledge, any more than having similar numbers that have maybe <5% inaccuracy which you will find by taking curves from different days/times/conditions or <10% inaccuracy that you will find from different Dynos? Or more than something like what Norm provided, which is representative of the shape and ballpark peaks between the engines?

I am not being snarky here, but I really fail to see how that last little bit of precision is a benefit here. As a driver of a car, my butt does not care if it is making approximately 390HP at the wheels at around 5000RPM or 391.21443570 HP at the wheels at 5123.3459 RPM. Maybe if you could explain why you need the data that you need, and how it helps you and what you will do with it, it might motivate people to help you out rather than yelling at them. Just a thought.

Best Regards,

Chris
