Re: can someone please help me here
Yeah, I'd guess there's alot to it. What gears did they have? What other mods? What exhaust? What stall? Etc.
Engine's only part of it, and 1/4 mile doesn't tell the whole story. I mean sure, the 4-banger might win the 1/4 mile, but if it tops out at 100mph and the other one will go 150mph, well, IMO I know who's faster.
I mean getting to your top speed quick is great, but if your top speed is crap, you're still slow. You're just really quick about being slow.

There is more to it.
did the guy have the ls1 running right? was the swap/tune ****ty and it ran 14s.
What was up with the bug, I know there are turboed 1.8Ls that people have gotten some pretty serious power out of. What was he running?
There are an assload of factors in a car other then who has the bigger engine.

I have seen a carbed small block 350 in the back of a porsche.
Power to weight ratio is important, but both being bugs unless one was insanely gutted thats not hte main difference. There is traction, power range, etc...
