How much for 71 Thermoquad?
Never said they did you did. If you cannot understand that increases in thermal efficiency lead to performance gains then you don't understand how inefficient an internal combustion engine really is. It's not theory its scientific fact. Sorry maybe all your engines are not governed by the laws of physics.........
Again YOU make that claim not me. Got any other strawman arguments to make yourself appear intelligent without actually discussing what I actually said?
Please elaborate on what thinking for myself means?
One at a time.
There is FAR a more wiggle room in your “thermal efficiency” claim than you will admit. You love to overlap several different areas and claim they are one and the same. They are not.
As an example, there are times (especially on higher than “orthodox” compression ratio pump gas engines) where you have to do otherwise that just jack the engine coolant temp through the roof. If you do something stupid like that, you MUST reduce the nominal compression ratio. That kills power.
Following your “thinking” is like taking a mushroom trip. You jump to and fro, blending and extracting details to try and make your “way” the scientific “authorized” way to do it. It’s just not true.
What you claim as hard and fast rules are mostly made up bullshit. It’s like you build lots of **** on paper but never get your hands dirty.
That’s a simple FACT of your nonsense that everything has to follow your “rules”. Real world experience says it doesn’t happen like that. Unless of course, you worship at the alter of ASScar where you are confined by a straight jacket, in a steel box with nothing more than bubble gum and a piece of bailing wire.
Just last year several ASScar crew chiefs and others were complaining of how idiotic it had become. It was no longer an exercise in learning and developing power. It was just a giant jack off to a retarded rule book.
So you can stop referencing ASScar and the final say in anything.
Notice your second point. I am discussing what YOU want, even though it’s pure BULLshit. Rather than sitting at your keyboard, mentally masturbating over how cool you are, why not go out and build something and document it? From your shitty design on paper, to machining, assembly, dyno testing and track results. Don’t post what someone else does. Post YOUR junk. Then you and I can discuss that. Until then, it’s the same old, same old with you. A bunch of bullshit you’ve never done.
Thinking for yourself starts when you can actually walk up to a machine and build something. Then thinking for yourself continues when you test all your pet theories and they fail and YOU have to unfuck it, regardless of what all the “experts” say.
Thats the beginning of thinking for yourself. You have a long way to go.
