His power/weight he’s prolly an upper 13x mph with good weather. 3v has pulled a car that went 134.

It makes 50 less whp than another similar combo but probably on a different dyno, and that's what you base stuff off of? Lol

Just asking for car talk. Not sure if trolling or just a jackass?
And lets face it, comparing similar cars on different dynos isn't the greatest way to compare. Kinda dumb actually.

True. Just like comparing similar cars at different tracks, in different parts of the world, is also kinda dumb. It's fun though lol.

So you want me to explain why a 10.7:1 ls3 will make more power than a 9:1 lsa with the same power adder and e85?

All I was assuming or questioning was, could the LSA be able to handle more boost, fuel and be tuned to make more power due to its lower compression than the LS3? See, I'm not know-it-all like your best friend Hio. I'm legitimately curious what other's think, their opinions and reasoning.

10-4. Nope the ls3 will make more power on good fuel regardless of how hard the 1.9 is pullied.
