There is no other way to compare fair unless, you took the same motor, used the same cc head ported with the same flow, and swapped the heads. Then back to back track passes.
To tune a N20 or turbo car might be more difficult, but the results we all know are better h.p.
Those N/A guy's deserve more respect than the turbo and N20 guys. It's way hard to make that power that way.(and way more $$$$$$)
P.S. I am not attacking anyone here. I could car less what head everyone runs. If I hit lotto tomorrow, I would look to see who the fastest N/A car and buy that head and add a turbo. That's just me.
CV-1 builds an all out motor and drags everyones ass, people will buy it.
apples to apples has to be N/A.

.... i think most agree with what you're saying, but i also think some of what else is going on here, is that some would have you believe in a power adder comparison, the heads are not that big of a deal, or relevant for comparison ...
... well that is simply not true, Fulton's car has always been a N20 car and it's faster now, and not because we threw more N20 at it, the car is faster because of the new CV-1 combo, it makes more power on the dyno, then the old E-Head combo and it's faster on the track then the old E-Head combo, and we're not finished yet, Fulton's car is certainly not dialed in yet, but we'll get it there, it just takes times, just like Marcella referenced Langer is working with a new combo and new combos are the worst he said, so Fulton's new combo is no different ...
... now as for the N/A thing, yes i agree it is the preferred method of comparison, but many would have you believe the CV-1 has never been in an apples to apples comparison on N/A engines before, which is also not true, Calvin Hill has built some combo's for Quinn and Poe and both out ran the heads they replaced, while a CV-1 engine build comparable to a Langer, Snyder, Dwight, Leech and some others level has not been completed yet, not to my knowledge anyways, and i mean something that's built to turn well over 9000rpm, i'm not referencing effort of the builds ...
... it's just something that has not happened ... yet ... but my point is that every car on my list i posted for Curt Geise, the car went faster after the CV-1's went on, and most of them are N/A, so we expect to see the same trend with our 9000+rpm effort as well, and that's just being honest, not boastful ...
