    Gavril's 5.5 V8 makes different power with the same mods, depending which car it is in. The 5.5L in the Roamer and D-Series makes less power the one you can put in the Marshal, Hopper or H-Series.

    I was messing around with my drag configuration cars, and I discovered Gavril's 5.5L V8 makes different horsepower and torque numbers between the different chassis. I put the engine with identical mods in the different cars it could fit in (all vanilla, no mods).

    The engine i used was equipped with a Race ECU @ 6800rpm, Stage 2 Block, Empty Exhaust, Stock Exhaust Manifolds, Stage 2 Supercharger, Empty Nitrous, and a Race 6spd w/ Ultralight Flywheel.

    The Marshal/Hopper/H15 engine made a peak 1210 horsepower and 1145 ft-lbs of torque, with 23.9psi of boost, while the D15/Roamer one made 1098hp and 1000ft-lbs at the same 23.9psi.

    I measured these findings with the engine debug app on the vanilla map: Grid, Small, Pure. The findings are also consistent with the Stage 1 supercharger, with the Roamer/D15 making around 100 hp and ft-lbs less.

    If this is intended behaviour, and there is a reason I couldn't think of for the difference, I'd be curious to find out what it is.

    One theory I came up with is the difference between an iron-block for the trucks and an aluminum-block for the car/van, though with the same mods again, the car/van V8 is 7.4 kg heavier.

    If the iron-block thing ring true, I would imagine the H-Series should have the the same heavier-duty version as the Roamer and D-Series (maybe it just hasn't been updated yet).

    im guessing they just updated values on one engine and forgot to do the others. i'd like to think it's something with realism like the block theory
