The easy answer for these two examples is...... the cfm/ci is better for engine 1.

Take engine 2, install some TF270’s and a racy single plane and watch the hp/ci go up.

Engine 1 has about 5.5cfm/ci.
Engine 2 is closer to 4.6.

The TF270’s would put the 505 in the 5.5cfm/ci range.

The better heads should put the 505 in the 1.30-1.40 hp/ci range.

The current two combos have the bigger motor making more tq/ci.
