AMEN and AMEN... there are many that share this passion that do not see the correlation to our Creator. Our Creator made our physical world and its "laws of nature" . The more you understand how the Internal Combustion Engine really operates, the more physical evidence you see of Divine Intelligence and plan. Thanks Brother!
I really like you 40/40/10/10 importance assignment! Where Intake is about getting volume into the engine and Exhaust is sharpening the reflected pulse
No one wants to talk about LS9/GT9 supercharger camshaft timing with stuff like 122* LSA and -24* overlap that also makes good power NA. I look at that cam as a "Big Cam" w/114 LSA where they reduced the overlap which is not much of a stretch when talking superchargers. But the good NA performance tells me that there is a lot more to "overlap theory." Another thing that bugs me is that everyone is talking HP and TQ and not one peep about MPG like 700-1000hp TT Vipers getting over 30 MPG on the highway. Hell, I want that 30 MPH NA which _should be possible_ I believe. Having neither the Time nor Money o investigate this, I've looked at engine simulation softwares, but if they cannot PREDICT turbo back pressure, they are useless. And since a lot have calculations based on empirical data, there is not a lot of confidence that they will produce good predictions with LSA > 120*.
