Here is a thought for the next 250 dyno.
Tom can use some intake port dividers for the 250 dyno session.
I noticed his statement about how good his intake port dividers makes more power w/no dyno proof.
Track proof is not reliable as was pointed out earlier. Tire pressures being different, temps of the day, alititude,standard degree day & so-on.You had an off day.
I have no doubt that w/his deviders installed ,the idle improved,better throttle response,why,? increased air velocity through the intake port.
Would probably get simular,(not as much) results by using the offy intake manifold instead of the Clifford he is currently using.
By deviding the intake port & making the intake port window so small,you could possibly see an increase in your low end power,but in the upstairs dept of higher RPM,it will make less power,the head can't breath w/that type of devider.
When you install intake port deviders it will severely cut the flow CFM wise to the intake ports,not just by a little ,,by a lot.
Now w/Tom posting w/the 194 cyl head is down flow about 20 or so CFM as compared to the open chamber head,thus making less power, would'nt you think this can be or could be a posible contradiction?
How can you can more power if you loose CFM flow of you cylinder head? His dyno session of the 194 cyl head proved it made less power everywhere, the 194 head was down in flow.
Turbo 6 has already proved this idea is false w/dynoing.
He had used intake port deviders as to make sure all the cylinders were getting close to the same amounts of fuel.
With the intake port deviders,his power was down on the dyno,so he had to up the boost pressure to make equivelent HP w/no deviders.
W/the deviders installed, the intake port window has become too small to flow good. It is a restriction.BIG TIME!
That being said,,when you are forcing air/fuel into a poorly designed intake port such as our siamesed ports,, design is not as affected/critical as in a N/A engine.
Tom,
dont take this personal,,just thinking about what other items you could add to the dyno session.
And as far as every car nut wants to be different,well some people like recipe combos. Such as getting info from Toms dyno session.
Proven parts for a no hassle install.
Some guys just would like to go to a store & purchase recipe/combo & not have to think about it.
So car nuts are all different,that's all.
