Re: Air intake info
When my old company skunkworks modified cars for the Mobilgas Economy Run We found out that higher engine temperatures slightly increased the MPG but that was from lower friction/viscosity from the lubricants and a slightly warmer combustion chamber. The air was brought in from a outside pick up located in the grill area as to get the coolest,most dense air charge,,a rainy day helped even more..This was in the days before fuel injection and electronic ignition..There were no computer systems to adjust the timing and fuel mixture.The same principles still work today and even better results are expected..The higher engine temperatures also help with the emissions... No I don't want to work anymore,,I'm RETIRED
I think somebody got engine temp and intake temp confused in the earlier thread....
