I was fascinated by the performance of those Engine Masters competitors when they first started getting wide publicity. But then I started noticing all the high rise intakes, electric water pumps, vacuum pumps, and high flowing exhaust systems. Then I realized that building an engine for a dyno competition is not the same as building one for the track or the street. Yes, some of the parts and technology have street application, but otherwise its a lot like comparing a Pikes Peak car to a street car.
