    Advantages of increase engine stroke apart from ...?

    While drawing the piston further down takes in more air and fuel, thus more torque, the stroke also acts as a lever arm. For example, an engine with a 2inch stroke will effectively have half the torque of a 4inch stroke engine if the combustion pressures are identical. But things get...

    Best way to learn

    The easiest way to learn how everything works is to isolate things. Find out the theory behind different systems, like suspension or brakes. If you look at one system at a time, it is so much easier. Its easiest to start on brakes IMO

    Short RAM intake vs Cold Air Intake?

    I was watching some of the WRC a couple of weeks ago, forget what country. But they said the driver and navigator can operate a mechanism, that, if I remember correctly, blocked the primary intake opening and let air bypass at some other location. Personally, I would go with a CAI. Also, a...

    Differentials-Limited Slip vs Torsen

    So everyone knows what a limited-slip diff is, but I'm curious: How does a limited-slip diff compare to a Torsen differential? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? I would love some feedback on this.

    What causes and what is vapor lock

    Vapour lock is pretty much just a problem on carb-ed engines. It happens when your gas gets too hot and evaporates, can be fixed by different fuel line locations or heat shields

    Gas leaking past piston rings? Liquid gas leaking into intake manifold?

    Maybe its fuel?

    What about carb adjustment/choke adjustment? :blink1:Please correct me if I'm wrong, I have little experience with carb-ed engines. Just know that on a small engine(lawnmower) the choke has to be right for easy starting.

    New to this forum need info on superchagers thanks

    Yes I also have a Mustang but sorry, I can't help you. 4 cylinder engines are not my specialty. A great place to look for parts is Ford Racing Parts.com . Even if you don't buy from them, you can get the catalog and narrow your part search down pretty well. As for your car, if I were you I...

    Best diesel engines to remap

    Here in the US they go for torque over hp because a lot of people use in trucks(i love trucks!:amuse:) for towing and construction. The only diesel car we have here that sells in even somewhat respectable numbers is the VW Jetta TDI. We have yet to make a diesel engine like the one in the Audi...

    What to use

    Try to find a car with a somewhat long wheelbase, preferably front engined and rwd. Solid rear axle is the ideal suspension for drag racing. The somewhat long wheelbase is probably unnecessary though, if you're doing this for fun and not serious competition. The longer wheelbases are usually...

    Yeah, regular boats are. That boat in the picture easily could be carbon fiber, though. I remember reading somewhere that that boat was so powerful and light, the Chevy engine could force the bow underwater. I don't doubt it! O and I found the company that made the boat. Here's the...
