That Dyno test comparison would probably never get funded today.


It would be pointless. Today's engine architecture is vastly superior to the 50s era technology used to build the big wedge.

Compare a 5.7 hemi and a 318/340/360. The new stuff makes much more power and gets far better economy.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
