It really wears me down and I understand why some capable people avoid the place like the plague. And is the key reason I don't participate much here. I suspect others feel the same.
And Mike thanks again for sharing some real information, it's appreciated! Share some real info with Stan and utilize his math abilities and I suspect we all could learn something. Math and physics don't lye and Stan has it under control. It takes real world experience from the best to calibrate assumptions in the math. Crap in is crap out. There are guys here that can provide good input to the rest. Stan has demonstrated a good ability of math and physics. I think a lot of folks could benefit from partnering with this capability.
PPTTFMF!

Aaron, Both Stan and I deal in Physics and Math every day. I would not be surprised a bit if our numbers were very close on the additional rpm needed.
Physics and the basic formulas for math do not change, no matter what the engine.
And as you said in other words, garbage in is garbage out.
As far as quoting me in your comment, maybe you should study the equations a bit yourself and then you could also partner in the threads.
If I remember correctly, I have been pretty close on the HP numbers a few times with my physics and math calculations. Keep posting Mike, looks like a great thread.
