Thanks Peter, its all good!

 

6Speed...people getting carried away...say it isn't so! No problem at all, actually learned a bit about these Lambos today...at least my 3.96 didn't get erased. See you at OH2K11

 

Darn it, what did I miss

 

UGR has a bigger fuel system with bigger injectors. It was on the mile car that crashed. It had plenty of room to go and it was over 1900whp.

After much discussion with Kevin and John Reed we decided to setup my E85 tune on the 'R' fuel system. Since this was the very first car they tuned on E85 we decided to play it safe and make sure that we kept the idle and startup very driveable since I have been known to actually drive my cars.

We maxed out the injectors at 1282whp and then backed it down a little bit on the final setting. The car made as much peak power at the same boost level on E85 that it did on C16.

I am hoping to switch the car from C16 to E85 soon so I can compare my C16 1300ish setting to the E85 1250 setting.

 

This is an interesting theory but does this actually happen in reality? My understanding of combustion processes is that they are mainly turbulent, not as laminar as you describe, even with ethanol. If you have any literature regarding this could you please post a reference? I would be curious to read it. The flame speed of ethanol is faster so what you're seeing is a more complete burn, especially at higher rpms. There is also the simple fact that you can make more thermal energy from ethanol at a given air flow which no one has discussed yet. Given all else being equal, that alone would result in increased response and tq as people are describing.

 

Is SlossMD going??

 

I think SlossMD and RobMD are traveling together.

Funniest post i've read on 6 speed in a while.

 

TTdude,

Not sure who's theory it is. Neil Harvey of Performance Developments explained it to me. Our engine dyno tests have backed up what he has said.

Neil has a history with Porsche MS and one F1 Team who won two Championships after which he started his own company. Working with him now for over three years I can tell you many of the tricks he has come up with for this motor are off the charts.

I had a conversation with Todd Z a few weeks ago (because I am looking at using a new currently in progress intercooler he is building) and reviewed with him our motor in minute details. After listening he commented, "what you have done to this motor is everything I have ever wanted to do to one of these motor."

Back to your direct question ........ I will present it to Neil and ask him to give me a more in detail explanation to share with the forum.
