PRP Velocity Lessons

Hysteric said

You would need to understand my point for me to think you have an issue with velocity.

At what point in the pistons travel does the port reach peak velocity? What's the velocity in the intake port when you open the intake valve and the exhaust residual heads straight up the intake runner and up through the intake manifold?

I'm not necessarily debating velocity obviously it matters, Just working out/debating how it fits with an average non highly competitive racing engine that may never see the track with vague desired results and or with a non porter without a flowbench and no dyno that's not gonna regularly test on the track or even it they do but are not willing to invest time and money in R&D to get the extra little bit.

How does these formulas and metrics that even the pro's even debate how useful are they, how does this stuff translate to the average dude the 99%?

Eg.. Like with that Olds most would just add 30-50 cid to get that torque and powerband. How many builders do a 408 to get around 500+ lbs-ft when a 1.4+ lbs-ft per cid 360 could get that, is build a bigger less efficient engine really a worse way to go for 99% of the builds out there?

That's what I'm trying to workout.
