289 vs. 302

No, by my logic the more powerfull engine revs quicker, becasue its acelerating quicker. Think about it this way, in my probe, 6700 RPM's in second gear is 60 MPH. If my engine revs to 6700 RPM's, and I'm in second gear, I am going 60. These are facts. The only way to make my engine rev to 6700 RPM's faster, is to acelerate faster. Acelerating faster means more power. I can make my stroke wahtever I want it to be in my probe, but if I dont have more power, I wont get to 60 faster.

a 289 with 300 HP in a 3000lbs car is 10lbs per HP
a 302 with 300 HP in a 3000lbs car is 10lbs per HP
a 429 with 300 HP in a 3000lbs car is 10lbs per HP

a 2.0L probe with 150 HP that wieghs 1500lbs car is 10 lbs per hp.
a motorcyle with 50 HP that wieghs 500lbs is 10 lbs per hp.
a diesel truck with 850 HP that wieghs 8500lbs is 10 lbs per HP.

Get my drift?
