To get this subject back on track. I think we should break the four cycles down into their own categories. Intake, Compression, Ignition(combustion), Exhaust. All four of these events have a bearing on Torque / Horsepower out put. How do all the different events effect each other if at all? How can we make each of them better? How can one help the other? Can a normally aspirated engine consume more more air than it's actual cubic inch? These are just a few questions we need to ponder.

Let's start with the induction cycle. Ask questions even if you think they stupid. In my opinion there are no stupid questions. Some of us may be at different knowledge and skill levels than others and that's okay. My objective is to educate everyone and someone out of left field may have an idea that no one else has thought of yet. Our brains are amazing computers and if challenged will find a solution. Some times it just takes a different perspective.
