For those of you who are interested, here is an article comparing a Nascar cup engine to a Formula 1 engine. Very technical, and very interesting to see just how similar these engines are, given their vastly different technological allowances.

I'm curious to see how the 2012 fuel injected NASCAR engines will compare to the current carbed 2011 engines. Is any information out there yet pertaining to how the fuel management (computer) will be done?

I retract my previous posts regarding the fuel injection..I was talking to a friend of mine who works for McClaren Group,the suppliers of the systems.. and much to my amazement the teams will have full control over the mapping of the ECU... NASCAR can also monitor the systems via their own software..The cost break down was roughly 30,000 per system... so the cost will take awhile to absorb...
