TFF,
Was the any of the dyno data at FOMOCO obtained on inline six engines. The reason I ask is that V8 data would be suspect when applied to an inline six. If it was on an inline six, how did the addition of a crossover pipe affect the torque curve? Did the torque peak occur at a higher RPM? Did the torque curve flatten, with all points higher than the non-crossover system? These would be relevant questions.
I read recently that having even exhaust pulses on a V8 actually decreased the horsepower and made the torque curve peakier; this was on a 180 degree crank. It could be argued that the problem was in having a 180 degree crank, but the concensus was that having equal lengnth primaries degraded the torque curve. I have no axe to grind on this matter, I just question everything. Cynic?
