    Low speed torque and driveability ?

    We generally speak like Low speed torque and driveability is synonyms with each other, I have myself but the more I think of it there seems to be a flaw with this line of thought. A lot of times when we see an upgrade that loses low speed torque the consensus seems driveability will suffer, but...

    Does this prove David Vizard's 128 lsa formula ?

    The examples he give shows mid torque gains with going with a tighter lsa but was that really even in question ? But to me the gains aren't large enough to say it proves DV's formula, if anything it disproves it cause to me for the formula to be valid being a few degrees off of calculated lsa in...

    Questions about velocity.

    Obviously velocity is important but I'm at the belief that the average person doesn't have to much say about it, especially in the Mopar world, we have relatively few choices of off the shelf parts to work with. Most the calculations below are based on cid and rpm, when building an engine...

    Why would low lift head flow hurt power?

    Cylinder Head Design - CHP How It Works "A larger valve diameter will almost always produce higher 0.100- to 0.200-inch flow figures, which can be counterproductive to making power. /// For race engines we use larger valves, but are able to reduce the 0.100- to 0.200-inch flow even further with...

    Static and Dynamic Displacement and HP

    Static and Dynamic Displacement Now these terms are my way of looking at engine displacements and borrowed the static and dynamic idea from CR. Static displacement is the measured displacement of your engine like 225 340 440 etc… Dynamic is what your engine can displace “Cfm” at rpm...

    How does cid make power?

    I keep hearing displacement makes power but don't see how so my question Is how? But let me clarify what I mean, I understand if you raise torque at any Rpm at that rpm hp will also raise. Torque is obviously heavily related to displacement If I was to say I'm gonna build a 440 without any...

    No Free Lunch, hp cid torque gearing

    I want to show how these are interrelated, this ain't meant to be best way and is obviously theoretical, in the real world there's so many variables so here most everything is assumed to be same VE% and efficiency. First off need to define hp, most here seem to think torque and hp do two...
