Probably the only constant I have when talking about Racing Engines is the "Horsepower" thing. Horsepower numbers are good for two things.
Tuning when using a Dynometer, or bullshitting the novices in the bar . .
The numbers we all really care about are 60' time, ET, and numbers of final rounds ran . .
Sometimes MPH comes into play but usually only when qualifying or messing with the other lane in Bracket racing . .
