If you meant, normally aspirated?
You mean the 335i sitting in my garage makes 300 ft-lb? No shit?

I obviously I mean N/A. "Duh." But thanks for correcting the mistake without being a prick about it.

We would need to know the specific output of all the good production-based racing engines out there.
I've never seen any quoted as high, including F1, Indy, or any closed wheel car I can think of. At least not for open track cars. I'm sure a top fuel dragster makes well over 100 ft-lb/L.

Can anyone find any N/A engine making over 92 ft-lb/L? I'm really curious. Just throw a URL out if you have one.

Of course a NA street engine will never have the specific output of a NA racing engine. Duh.
That depends on the race engine and street engine in question. "Duh."
