318 MAX fuel economy builds?

THAT is NOT what I said. I said he figured out from racing, by accident, that a carb that they used which produced large droplets, WORKED with a SPECIFIC COMBUSTION CHAMBER.

What the hell is the matter with you?

Don't misquote people.

That is liberal manipulation.

That **** doesn't fly.

You present some vague recollection about something that David Vizard "figured" out with a larger droplets and a specific combustion chamber sometime in the 1960's or 1970's as evidence to counter what has already been disproven by the people pushing the boundaries of combustion by running upwards of 20+ compression ratios.

I can assure you the guys pushing the boundaries on this stuff are "NOT" reading David's books to figure out how to do it.

This is what one of those guys said to me when I asked him why a very well known former Engine Masters winner and race engine builder stated he limits his street builds to 185 psi on pump fuel:

If the fuel is in bezillions of droplets there is maximum surface area for collision and also maximum chance of the first rebound being into a droplet. That’s what homogenization is all about.

When you listen to a hotrod engine builder who restricts the compression to 185 for pump fuel you are listening to a builder who has poor homogenization. If the Homogenization is poor it means that there are larger distances between droplets which correlates into more heating of the air and less heating of the fuel. It’s the temperature of Oxygen that matters. Oxygen is the starter of combustion NOT the fuel. So when you have poor homogenization you have to reduce the compression pressure to avoid overheating the oxygen and causing it to react too fast and build a detonating pressure.

And the reason he knows is he was running 240 psi on local 87 octane pump fuel.
