Is there much of a difference performance wise between the two? I run asphalt and am interested in building a DM. I originally wanted an 18, but I was told that there was not much difference and I'd save a lot of money by going with the 14.

Wont save alot of money.. only difference would be the price of the crank wich would be minimal..

18 would be faster

I'd go with the 18 also.. unless your looking to fit into a certain displacement class.

Have a top builder build it like Nate Mccoy, K&T, A&S and they'll make a 14 run like an 18. I think Nate had a used 16mm he swapped out for somebody who went bigger. I think his 14 made 138hp at sandtrax's dyno a while back but I think his 16s and 18s are in the 150 to 160 range.

That was an 18 that made 138hp on Sandtrax's dyno. I believe later in CA, Nate may have gotten that one up to 156+hp.

That was a few years ago and he's getting more out of them now.I think sandplayaz 10 mil dm is in the 130s.

There's a 10DM on Planet Sand for sale that was supposedly dyno'd at 142hp and was a multi fastest on the planet winner. Decisions decisions decisions! Anyone know anything about it?
