This show if full of people talking smack to each other. You have to make the best of it.
A turbo is a replacement for displacement. Why do they put turbo's on v6 and 4 cylinders? Turbo's, blowers and nitrous are all replacements. It is a way for a smaller engine to make the power of a larger engine. I'm just sayin'.

This thread is getting off topic.
I think Peter's point is being miss understood.
A turbo 3.8 liter motor may be better than a 5.0 NA V8,
but a turbo 5.0 liter motor will kill a turbo 3.8 motor.
Why do you think we were trying to get a 500lbs plus
weight break just to try and qualify at Orlando?....

Off topic question here:
Is there a MAJOR difference in performance between a 231ci and 247ci stroker LC2?
Strokers are thousands more than a 231ci setup, but is the performance from the extra 16ci (7% more ci than stock) that profound, beyond saying "I have a stroker"?

Maximum power potential is only the 7% more if that. The larger gain is with the stroker is more TQ and the ability to spool faster.
This could allow you to go with a bigger turbine wheel and potentially pick up top end hp.
OK.
Are there any dyno sheets comparing the 2 to show HOW MUCH more TQ or top end HP is produced at a certain RPM vs a 231ci motor?

Not on me, but I am sure Ken Duttweiler or Cal Hartline would have data to back this up.

Cool! I don't have cable though so won't be able to watch. Never have watched the speed channel either....I'll have to see if they post their shows online after the fact.
