Or, am I that far behind the times that small turbos can now, very efficiently deliver an unlimited amount of air to an engine?
Help me here, guys. I guess I'm a little lost. You guys been keeping secrets from me?
Well since you brought it up the 71mm cars make as much power as your 91mm but without that highly efficient top end charge. I am absolutely sure you will try to twist my words and not read what they are saying, and yet I am getting sucked into the discussion like a black hole. Nothing is unlimited, every part has it's limitations and every person has to think about the limitations of each part and put them together to run as good as possible.
The reason a turbo is a better way to limit a class is because you can build many different combinations and the turbo will limit them all in a relatively close power range depending on engine size and efficiency. If you run a turbo that will make enough air to support 1200 hp, most guys can reach that goal, some at 18psi and some at 38psi, doesn't matter. Obviously there will be a perfect combo for that turbo and the guy who builds it will be the one to beat. But if you have 50 cubes more or less or the wrong heads etc., you could still give him hell.
Heads and valve size are a lousy way to limit a class because you just turn up the boost and push it in and out. Will it be as efficient, no. Will it be somewhat close in power, I believe so. I think your car should run into the sevens when you finally find the magic track that can handle all that power. I would be embarrased if it didn't get a seven.
You can't get your car to go straigt down the track with 900 rwhp but expect us to believe you have engineered a pressure pulse tuned exhaust that makes extra super duper power. I call B.S. bro. PM me if you know of a set of heads similar to yours, I will bolt them on and run them with a HPQ 71 and post up time slips. I will start my own thread about the results so I don't get admonished for bragging here.
