If you go by HP per cubic inch, historically, smaller displacement engines have had the advantage (up to a point). It is easier to make smaller engines more efficient.
If you go horsepower per cubic inch then you aren't truly answering the question which is faster.
Well....technically he did. As I pointed out and Myron added to (very well I might add) when class racing on a pounds per CID the smaller engine in a lighter car is almost always faster. It's easier to make a 3000 pound car with a 300 CID engine out run a 3500 pound car at 350 CID.
The smaller engine will RPM more, be able to use more gear and effectively move the car quicker. It's all about the levers.
I should have been my dad. Modified Eliminator was the SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
