I never sat in one of those new Mustangs but they must be hard to see out of to take a 1/2 second stripe on a heads up run. :D

I know one thing about this whole discussion and that's the Boss is definitely over rated.

Alan; correct again! and if the booster is a restriction, how about the fuel molecule that the carb shares air space with that the throttle body does not? BTW; I'd love to have an engine in my stocker that makes 1.95 per inch that is NHRA factored at .95....should be pretty fast huh?

Re: Looks like hp on Tuesday
 

Interesting question on the air flow.

We have done extensive testing comparing a 780 against the t/b and a carb with and without boosters. Would you believe that a carb without the boosters only flows a single digit increase compared to a 780 with the boosters?

. What really helps the 780cfm flow more air than the t/b is that the carb is nearly 3 times the height (counting the air horn) as compared to a 2 inch t/b. The carb, due to its" tunnel design", has the advantage of increased velocity compared to the t/b.

This helps in the atomization of the fuel and gives it a "heavy charge" and that results in almost a 30% increase in the flow/velocity for the 780 carb compared to a "dry" T/B.

Its really elementary physic's.

How'd that sound??

Not being a smart a.. RJ but with you switching to a Mustang doesn't that mean that you will be doing to older cars what you had done to you at Indy? Just saying ��

Your car is bad fast too!

Re: Looks like hp on Tuesday
 

or how about this?

Fuel droplets that are introduced into modified tunnel chambers (carb), actually give the air a friction fighting orgasmic attitude which steadily increases the air speed and flow capabilities of the fuel charge, as opposed to a dry air funnel effect as in the case of an t/b.

Ed.....every chance I get!!

I figure that with the way I drive I will need all the advantages that I can get. Every time I beat an old car I will buy the driver supper and express my deepest apologies .

Actually, you're right. Visibility sucks due to the tiny little quarter window that gets worse when replaced with those louvers. I find the new Camaros to be even worse though.

Re: Looks like hp on Tuesday
 

That's what I was thinking too.

RJ;
You are truly a funny guy! Elementary Physics? Heavy charge? Orgasmic? Funny stuff Maynard! The term "butt monkey" comes to mind but a little humor is needed on C/R; Keep up the good work.
