Golf ball ? = 300 to 400 More topend rpm now

Featured Replies

Yes well, hmm

Some of you said it wouldn't work, see old posts by SmokingWheels

I still had to prove it for my self though.

I'm not game enough to push my stock L series engine past 7500

at this speed the valve train just starts a light cardac arrest.

This level of arrest was prevously 7100.

However it will go ~100-200 higher, before things really stop working,

I dont want any windows in my block again,

Ive read that peak intake veloicty is good to about mark 0.5

Apply the Golf ball therory to the valve,

So how heavy is the intake valve now at that speed?

1. lighter valve springs for same rpm

2. more rpm for the same springs and running gear

3. a little analog mod ????? well classified information....ATM

Have I just removed excess/uneeded mass from the valve itself?

PS in granny mode on the HWY 4.72 L/100 is my best in summer (59.1 MPG).

"Anything above 45 MPG you need to tempture compensate the volume of fuel out of the pump"

Cheers

Greg
