Same here. It didn't seem realistic to show that big a jump from basically nothing but another 47 cubes. I could plug the same changes into a different sim program... but I wouldn't put any more faith into whatever that one might come up with, either.


My (somewhat educated guess) is that if you added a 4.25 crank to your existing engine combo you would pick up some torque but not change the peak power numbers by much. Same peak numbers but at a slightly lower RPM. The car probably would not be any faster at the track unless you figured out how to take advantage of the extra torque. The car would drive a lot nicer on the street though. It would feel stronger from stop light to stop light. I think you would enjoy the car more even if it wasn't any faster down the track. I also think the tuning window would be wider.
