So you're admitting to being a drama queen

You be asking for trouble fella....

Does it straight up say “cubic inch increase is not considered a power adder” or are you just assuming that because that’s not normally how you think of it?


What I'm saying if you can only pick one of the 4, big cubes, nitrous, super charger or turbo why is only one of the 4 not called a "power adder" I don’t usually consider it to be but I'm saying there is an argument to be made, If you consider a little 50 hp shot an nitrous a “power adder” why wouldn’t a 50 hp increase due to displacement also count, where does it define power adder as only forced induction or nitrous, I think we have already agreed racing bodies consider more cubes to be just as much of a advantage aka “power adder” as the other common forms, power adder doesn’t necessarily mean forced induction. You might sound like a dink saying it but like I said, there is a argument to be made, its not as cut and dry as it would first seem..





Show me where running anything more than 89 octane in a N/A car (with 302 ci) adds 50+ hp


But b4 every starts on me, I wouldn’t say it was, just the part of me that likes to argue thinks its got some merit to say it is

IHRA. NHRA. NMRA infact all DRAG racing Bodies CLEARLY DEFINE "POWER ADDER" and CI is not one! PERIOD!

So you're saying he can't drive?

I'm saying I'm pretty sure he already has traction issues.

NAAAA!!! She likes me

NAAAA!!! She likes me

Maybe so, but I know instigting when I see it.

And I saw it!

a cold air intake is a power adder.

agreed, but I wouldn't consider a CAI a PA, so I guess the line for power adder or not could be drawn based on a % increase, and kinda what I was getting at, if a very small amount of boost/nitrous is used is it then not considered a power adder?, I guess I would consider a power adder to be any single thing that adds a large % of increased power, show me a CAI that can add 50 hp on a N/A 302 and I'll buy it in a heart beat!

I think he enjoys it.

lots? Like what besides porsche?

Ferrari F1 is like 4.3L ...SMALL.

You have to define small I guess. But most use smaller displacement and all aluminum engines to keep weight down. Then use power adders to make the power.

Well your in the MINORITY. If you pull into TECH and have NOS on the car and say I am not going to use it, YOU HAVE A POWER ADDER, no matter what it increases your power by. It would be like me saying yeah its a S TRIM , but I have a 8" pully on it so its only making 2# of boost.

Here is how I see it....

Power adder = Something added (bolted, connected or plumbed) to an existing engine to help make more power.

Bigger cubic inch is NOT a power adder because IT IS the engine.... nothing has physically been connected to it. It still functions like a stock engine would.

...what are you talking about? Ferrari's F1 car is NA...
