Mr Joel

Tell Jeff that we just finally settled the deal with H.I. and I will contact him to go racing. We just made the big gains last week. The exhaust had 4 psig back pressure when we eliminated that we instantly jumbed 70H.P. with the same tune. Imagine that air stuff again. I have more instrumentation then a surgeon on this thing.We are going back for another run we think another 30H.P. is in the bag based on the current A/F ratio being rich. Also did you see the Split Second box that allows us to drive down the freeway and adjust the Air Mass and recalibrate on the fly pretty cool. A young engineer working for me has done the entire project he is just 20 years old I hope he can design valves? See Ya, Chet

Tell Jeff…..
Will Do!

Designing valves are easy when you apply fun real world experiences. Sounds like your "rotation program" for your new grad engineers is on target.

No I did not see the Split Second box. Where do I learn more? Take care.... Joel

Yeah we have really struggled for the past 4 months so this kid has stuck with it. I hope my pocket book holds out. We really only started to figure things out 3 weeks ago due to a self inflicted electrical problem that we chased for 4 months. The power levels are right where the model says it should be so we are very encouraged. We are flowing over 1200 cfm across the Air Mass at this point. That is a bunch of air. I think the stock LOL is around 600 to 700. The 50lb injectors are maxed at 65 psig so we are about done unless we size them up. The exhaust really got us in trouble. We are going to go to 4'' where I can and a minimum of 3.5'' to get the pressure drop down, Chet

I'll ask again:
You stated that ...the eaton blower will only flow so much until it cant flow anymore. this is from fact...

Please state the specific facts.

The other part I don't understand is your latest comment that you didn't understand that the engine was making so much power. Yet, you mentioned in a prior post that you were there and saw the power it made. You even put a number on it.
???
