Intake Parameters Calc

I still think you can run alcohol injection and more than make the HP.

Not sure there is enough in those things you are looking at.

I would also look at the car setup to try and pick the ET up.
Seems like you are losing a couple tenths possibly with your car/chassis compared to the HP of your engine?

Just my 2¢

When I tried alcohol it was with carburetors. Are you thinking Ron's toilet or?

I will look at setup of the car. I am giving up some with the frontal area of my car. (1969 Grand Prix)

[johnta1]

Are you thinking Ron's toilet or?

Yes, or the Terminators.

Easy to set up and run.
Lower clearance than the 'Bird' type injection.
(and possibly the carbs)

I know your GP is big, but the wagon aero is probably not that good either?



A properly set up alcohol system should be at least 5% more power.

Frontal is hardly even close

If 5% were the case at his power level everyone would be running it. AND THEY ARE NOT. THINK ABOUT IT.

[johnta1]

I have thought about it.
And do it.

Read about it, maybe learn something?

[slowbird]

I'd be very surprised if alcohol is 5% better than Q16. Q16 makes darn good power

LOL!!!! You are no where near 1070 hp. Fact. And you have not increased a engine like that 1% with anything ever. Period

[johnta1]

Period

We all know you're having your period.



But your opinions don't change physics.

In an NA engine using Alcohol will give you more torque if you're running high RPM you probably won't see much in ET gain. You'll pick up more in consistency in ET along with the obvious cooling affect.

Add the phrase low rpm torque and this is pretty accurate.

I agree with this, shorter stroke engines should still carry a wide torque curve.

Glenn's engine still has a longer stroke as compared to NHRA super stock engines running higher RPMs.

I believe Glenn has had multiple issues with rocker arms, maybe sending the stuff directly to Jesel may be able to provide insight.

For the same frontal area, a wagon will go thru the air with less aero drag vs a regular body as the longer body keeps the air straight for a longer period of time and less aero effect at the rear of the vehicle.

Same effect but to a lesser degree with a truck with a hard cover over the bed. We are not talking a camper body or a bed box. A fabric cover helps a little bit but the cloth vibrating over the bed surface has poorer aero vs the hard shell.

Any real corroborating data on the wagon Cd and the GP Cd?

Can you gin up a calculator for thaat? HIS

Yeah gin up a calculator to explain his physics.....that always are made up bs about dairy farm ONLY cars and parts. Related to nothing real.

[johnta1]

Since the majority of the stuff you write is made up, it would be a fantasy world calculator populated by you and a few of your buddies.

Tell you what retard. Why don't you make a Calculator for gained horsepower from engine coatings?

Since that is so real and you're so aware of what it actually is Mr. physics.

[johnta1]

Since you seem to know it all, why don't you?
All talk and no action?
