On other hand, I will not sugest to compare team engines to regular poduction engines. Ths is why they are team egines-drivers will show you how fast they are, but pretty often it is driver, not an engine.
Totally agree, speed is a combo of car/engine/driver. The Nova team engine does has better piston and liner fit. Then it also wears out quicker. The internal crank case is polished as weel. I doubt that will yeild noticeable difference in real life.
A top of the line Max today is not much difference to a team Nova. We can buy the horsepower. Making use of it is a different thing!
