Any other words you want to put in my mouth?



fairy nuff Wink

how about "i emailed Hasselgren about formula atlantic engine specs and they said......" Very Happy


the way they make it is rpm.

there is a physical limit on how much torque an engine can produce... the limit of torque that can be made depends on rpm also, because higher rpm allows more effective use of intake tuning (since the sound waves get stronger.. sorta)...

so alhtough a road going engine may only make 100Nm/L, a race going high rpm engine may make 130Nm/L

and due to the formula of calculating power, higher rpm makes a significant difference ie, 8000 to 12000rpm (with same torque) immediately means 50% more power!


Cya, Stewart


ps, equation is
power = (torque x rpm) / 9502

where power is in kW and torque is in Nm.
