I sent this to JD and the list never made it to the list so it is in 2 parts
now..
Always like bench racing with as well JD..
Here is something to consider when you get a minute, have a cold one on me and
see if you think as an inspector this would make your life a bunch easier in the
long run and probably not change the racing one bit.
I would love to just see the engine rules read..
" In classes other than Vintage and Classic the engine control system can adjust
any engine operating parameter,other than the throttle position, for any reason
using any sensor input or any combination of them."
That is a rule that is enforceable and easy to inspect. It allows engine builder
freedom to explore anything and the driver still has the 'go' pedal in their
control.
If you look at it logically we already have..
Ignition vs. rpm
Ignition vs. manifold pressure
Ignition vs. throttle position
Ignition vs. nitrous
Fuel vs. rpm
Fuel vs. manifold pressure
Fuel vs. throttle position
Fuel vs. nitrous
Boost vs. rpm
Boost vs. throttle position
Boost vs. gear position
gear position vs. rpm
gear position vs. manifold pressure
gear position vs. throttle position
torque converter lock up vs. rpm
torque converter lock up vs. manifold pressure
torque converter lock up vs. throttle position
nitrous vs. rpm ( both under rpm and over rpm)
nitrous vs. manifold pressure
nitrous vs. throttle position
nitrous vs. gear position
Ignition rev limiter
Fuel rev limiter
Boost rev limiter
nitrous rev limiter
There are only a few possibilities left that are available and i probably left
some out as well..
end part 1
