The Horsepower numbers seem normal for that size but the TQ seems quite impressive if it is measured at the rear wheel.

That company calls themselves a clean energy company, and they come out with a monster engine that has a CARB?

Really?

145 hp from a 147" engine is somewhat of a dog. The sheeple will think it is cool. But nobody with any SA will be impressed. 200 hp, all engine on pump gas in street trim would be really cool and worthy of mention.

I remember when (not that long ago), 1 h.p. per cubic inch was an admirable accomplishment.  Seems like the dark ages now...

Yep.

Back before EFI, 1 HP per CI was impressive. Nowadays it's the sign of a really poor tune!

Some of the wet metrics are pulling one+ HP per 10CC, that's 40% less than 1 cubic inch. BMW's K1600, in line six is boasting 160 HP/129 TQ stock. Easier to produce those numbers when it's cooled but still pretty impressive.
