318 MAX fuel economy builds?

David Vizard covers fuel atomization where large droplets DO work with specific (some would label insufficient) combustion chambers. His experience with this subject came from Mini (Cooper?) racing in the 60's or 70's. One combustion chamber needed large droplets of fuel for the most power output of that particular engine. I would have to review hundreds of pages in his books or hours of his videos to find it. It was Carburetor and combustion chamber specific examples that provided him with the discovery. Later on he talks about an 80 horsepower increase in switching spark plugs, so take it with a grain of salt-but I have heard of others having tremendous gains from spark plug changes *** well.

You are 100% correct. Use an exhaust heated intake and run the coolant temperatures at 195 or more for the guys who think the gain in thermal efficiency is more important than compression ratio and then atomize the fuel as fine as you can it will lose power and efficiency.

I‘d rather run my coolant temperature at 160 (just so I have heat/defrost), run a cold air intake and use the booster to get the fuel finely atomized and run my compression higher than all the boos and experts say you can.

The increased thermal and mechanical efficiency of the higher compression ratio makes far more power than hot coolant a heated intake.
