I created this thread for one reason:to compare powergraphs from different engines.

I don't want to start an engine war--which is stupid because almost every engine has an advantage wether it is cost of parts, peak power, torque low revs or light weight, etc...

I have been searching the web (sometimes my skills suck :-) for about a week now and haven't found many good power graph/dyno examples.

All that being said, go ahead and post POWER GRAPHS or links to them.

I would really like to see RB/KA/SR/CA in turbo and non-turbo applications. Make sure you include all relevant information.

Please, no opinions on what you think is better. Let's keep this purely objective.

Sorry if I made it seem like I was only interested in seeing turbo forced induction applications or was only interested in the [common] S1X swap engines.

I would like to see fine examples of superchargers (centrifuge, roots, etc...) and other nissan engines such as the VG and even VQ series. It would also be interesting to see a few "big" displacement and/or "American" engines.

Also, I just want to stress the need in being specific as power graphs can be altered (ie: different turbo trims) and don't neccessarily measure the same thing (Base power or power at the wheels? Tested in a _real_ car? etc..).
