Racecars!
Look, I slide some supercharged LS9 numbers in!
Area under the curve!
Hey, didn't you e-race the car you had 2.5 years ago against some Corvette one time????

Seriously. You and I both know that comparing static flow is bullshit because the valve sweeps through the lift range which is determined by the cam. And that lift and duration of said cam (the easily quoted internet numbers) don't give you the area under the curve of the cam lobe. Plus starting there totally ignores the VE of the system, which takes into account cam phasing, manifolds, and filter/muffler restrictions. THAT is why having a pissing contest about static flow rates is bullshit. Now take those terms and rearrange them into a rebuttal without using any engine codes. ..and go!

Plain and simple, you already said it yourself, your own calculations, your 430 rwhp SR20det, slower than a 400 rwhp LS1

No bullshit of you twisting each of my replys to your or dans spins on things, and then claiming IM the one spinning things, plain and simple, faster, with less power, go figure.
