Correct...
Good results Benson, having a closer look at the dyno figures the torque does fall away given its capacity, but apart from cam timing, alot of fuel has been pulled out looking at the AFR's, not just cam timing changed, correct?
yeh a/f ratio was slightly fixed
I suppose it depends what you classify the powerband to be. Some say it's the rpm range from peak torque to peak power, others say it's rpm range where the torque is above 95% of the peak torque. I usually use the latter of the two.
And I agree, the shape of the torque curve is what I look at when I see a dyno printout. The peak power figure is almost meaningless since it's going to vary a fair bit depending on the dyno, temperature, etc, etc On top of that unless you have super close gear ratios to keep your rpm at peak power constantly the car really wont be that quick. You want an engine with a broad torque curve matched to gear ratios which can make the most of that torque.
Discuss.
Is it really worth the chat given the differences between dyno's and days, would be nice if all engines turned up on the same day, same dyno, that way we could all compare apples with apples! Not look at loaded figures.:cool:
exactly what i'm after...
for everyone elses references who are unfamiliar with powerband...:
