Question on port matching
Here's John Kaase showing what actually happens in an engine rather than pretty computer generated ideas about flow.
Jon Kaase Uses Finger to Test Airflow
Does all that CFD stuff account for reversion and wet flow dynamics........Notice all that fuel on the walls? Where does that end up? Does it take into account the size of the fuel droplets that exit the booster of the carb? Can it calculate at what point which fraction transitions from a liquid droplet to a gas state?
Now what happens to all the fuel that ends up on the port floor of the manifold and then runs down into that large opening like a ported J head and then hits the ski jump as it now runs into all the air trying to get around the short turn. What does all this liquid fuel do to the fuel/gas and air already entrained? Does it help it or does it **** it up? Remember a liquid has mass so what's it gonna do? How much is there? Anyone really know? Does your flow bench tell you how an engine really works........
Last time I looked a Pro Stock engine doesn't have the large operating range requirements a street car engine has to get right. Nor do those guys have to deal with heavy end distillates that take a lot of heat to vaporize and burn.
I know of 1 engine where a change from an Airgap to a Performer was only worth a 10th loss in ET. Even funnier was that streetmaster manifold lost only 10hp to the Airgap @ 5600 RPM and that port miss match is HUGE by anyone's standard.
