Scott, Hard to beleive the Dirt guys a making lots more hp than the Nascar pros. Your comparing the best engine builders of sb engines with almost unlimited funds. Roush, Penske, Yates, against teams with very limited funds compared to the Cup guys.
And the Dirt racers are mostly 410 ci compared to the 358 ci Cup motors.
358 ci, flat tappet cams, one 4 bbl carb on gasoline and close to 800 HP costs lotsa money.
I know the dirt racers are real good and probably some are loaded but I think they got more engine to play with and I know some are running alcohol.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
