The reporting on the event is terrible. In one article, it says Kaase was 477hp. In another it says 583. All the numbers they've provided are average peak numbers which is not at all relevant to the scoring system.
Ted's engine is indicated to have made the exact same hp and tq as the Poly 318, and has LS7 HIlborn efi, factory cast iron heads, ported, according to the report. While it is certainly possible that it produced the exact same numbers as another engine, it is not very likely and given all of the other errors, I'm sure that is a mistake as well.
So at this point, we don't really know how it has turned out. IF the numbers reported are correct, then Ted has won as Kaase did not produce enough power and torque for his displacement. That's IF they are correct, and my guess is they are not.
I hope there is a results article or summary with accurate info. Or maybe Ted or Royce will chime in with the real scoop.
