RE: Engine config

["Dave Dahlgren" <ddahlgren@snet.net>]

No I am saying it is so far out of the realm of things important to me that
the calculator on the web was the limit of the amount of time I thought it
was worth. I doubt if all the things are perfect on the web but equally
doubt that they are all trash as well. Most are put up by engineering
students past and present because they like having some fun with the
numbers. Our own DrMayf is an example of that.
I have too many good performing cars and bikes that I have tuned that did
not make the numbers that everyone else said they had but did run
consistently faster than would be expected. Hence my dismissing most of the
conjecture of untested engines as just that conjecture. I have also heard
that these Top Fuel engines can not be run on a dyno. Fine just put a tach
and torque transducer on the coupler to the rear end.. Instant dyno.
