I'm sure he measures and monitors that when he does dyno pulls. I bet Blykins has built hundreds of FE motors and with the same parts but different blocks under the same atmospheric conditions but on different days. I don't think the idea that it has to be done at the same time means that much. So let's just say it has been done by many builders of FE's. And each time they say iron makes more power.
Seriously, please no more online posts of the cast iron's superiority. They're just words to me. As I said, when available, post a link to the results of the FE engines that were tested all at the same time same place and the exact amount of its superiority. You can get every engine expert in the world to post here, but I want to see the proof at it relates to FE blocks. Not Chevy small blocks or 440 Mopars. I want real world data. And I want to see it.
