No they have and that's what's confusing. There have been nascar engineers that have been let go for a head redesign that was based on "physics" was supposed to be 12.5 cfm more per cylinder. The porter did as told, after many many hrs of work, the motor made 40 less h.p.
I know its a good base, but if physics was perfect there would be no reason to jet a carb. Yet there has not been 1 carb that I bolted on a motor that I could not get to run better. And that's just a small parts of the equation.
The next problem is, a guy try's something and it works, then they keep going and hit a wall, everyone bust there balls and says you failed....but guys like this (dci, langer,fulton, leech...) are gather real good info weather it works or not, sometimes they don't say anything after that. It is like going to college, they school themselves. It takes time and money. A bunch of those guys should get together and have a convention once a year and share there findings, it would better the hobby.
