Homework
Well, despite the turn some comments have taken, I guess this subject is now intriguing the old motor builder in me. Couple of questions:
On this issue of flow, and Scott's assumption that a motor is flowing 513 cfm. Assuming the number is correct [again, the number has only been assumed so far], why is it a bad thing? I mean, my concern with non-turbo motors in the old days was creating a lean condition / detonation, which in turn led to destruction in some form. Does the turbo thing create some different problem? If you have good exhaust gas temps [egt's], and, from what I see, Eric's are very good, fuel certainly is not a problem, correct?
Where am I going wrong here? I mean, no lean condition; no detonation; good egt's; isn't that really more to the point of it all.
Confused by it all, Bruce
