Only 6hp away then Steve
i presume that you had your adjustable trumpets set at a shorter length than in the past
Yep only six away from the target. The headline number is not really that meaningful on its own. Just look at the area under the torque curve to see why the Melton express is V quick in the real world.
You are correct in presuming that a shorter rather than longer trumpet is making the best headline figure. We cannot however go in to specifics on this as it will infringe Steves intellectual property rights to this information.
There is only so much that can be revealed in public.
We also performed a further experiment today but the result was no increase in power.
So in effect we are now at the end of development of this engine in this phase.
Im sure we will have a power run on another dyno soon just so we can get a 300 printout to go bar stool racing with.
Dave Walkers rolling road is always very modest with figures.Very much in keeping with its owner/operator What is remarkable about it is the fact that it is consistent year upon year.
The fact that it is operated by a near genius in the UK world of NA tuning just adds icing to an already tasty cake.
