dude......my mind is going in all different directions now. i had an immediate mental picture of her from underworld.......

please insert drooly icon here.

Ill do you one better than a drolly icon...

Gschultz?

Theories vary.

Not a new poster, in any event...

I see your water-pumper and raise you a proper cooling system.

i see your noise, and raise you some true heavy metal.

kinetic energy is energy stored in a moving body.

so....in a stretch, i guess you're right. there is kinetic energy(sort of) stored in thermal energy.

Not "sort of", a defined fact of physics. Kinetic energy is not a single form of energy it is a group of energies that are all based on motion on some level.

Die Hard are you the same guy that tried to tell me a few years back that the Focke Wulf I used to fly wasn't a Focke Wulf despite the data plate, registration and emblems saying exactly that?  This style of argument seems very familiar.

Gschultz?

heya golfer. joining the fun?

No.

[edog1977]

that could be a good range...i'd say the actual sweet spot is about 5200 rpm though.


 

I see what your saying, your basing the sweet spot off of the BSFC.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you have a CVT, you want the gear spacing to be such that you shift at max HP and when engaging the next gear you don't drop below max torque?

[Golfer]

No I've been subscribed to this thread back when it was a "what should I get" thread before it turned into my gasoline molecule is better than your cubic inch circle jerk.  It just struck me as familiar because I felt back then like I was talking to a brick wall who grasped onto one little idea and wouldn't let it out of their kung fu death grip.

I don't know enough about cars in the first place to hold my own just how to do some minor maintenance and after a few weeks ago replace air conditioning compressors despite the fact all I needed was a new AC pulley.  Solution:  $280 pulley...doh!  250 for the compressor and 30 for the pulley

[CAP1]

Shocking!


If the max torque is the same for both examples the 10,000 rpm one will be 5 times as powerful.


Because you have more HP?

surly you jest??

because

i

have

more

torque


we were both rated at the same horsepower.

Toyota F1 RVX-06 engine 740 hp at 19,000 RPM. Boy those engineers must be morons!

i was basing my idea of the sweet spot on a little of everything.

5,200    285.7    288.6    118.2    0.46

at 5200 rpm, the torque and horsepower are at their closest in the entire band. yet on a shift, using a close ratio manual transmission(which most all smallblocks use) the rpm will drop no more than 200 or 300 rpm, keeping the curves nearly the same.

 i was also basing it on the fact that i had built pretty much this identical engine when i was 17 years old, and that's what worked with my close ratio top loader 4 speed. it had a 2.78 1st gear, and that got me out of the hole nicely. i only had to run 4.10's, where most others with similar engines(both ford and chevy) were running 4.56 rears to do the same as i was.

820 horsepower at 6400 rpm. what;s your point?

stop trying to dance to different subjects.  

BTW...speaking of changine the subject......notice the yellow and green lights both still lit.


THAT my friends is cutting a PERFECT light.  , and is why others tried to avoid lining up next to me in the first round.
