F E Engine masters???
« on: December 14, 2014, 07:34:08 PM »
Just thinking out loud, but after seeing how fords and especially the fe get pushed out, wouldn't it be nice to have an fe shoot out?  Just a friendly competition for bragging rights. Maybe a pump gas class, stroker class, and all out. Rules could be set by the competitors, maybe voted on by the forums? Sure seems like interest would be good looking at how big Beaver springs is. Now if someone had a dyno......

Have a local tuner with a portable chassis dyno come to the FE Reunion.  Dyno Jet preferred; the Eddy-current deals are better for tuning only.  They don't produce values that correlate well with engine dyno values...and anger a lot of people looking for maximum numbers.  Transmission types could also be classified, because the avg manual trans driveline consumes 10%, while a C6 will eat closer to twice that...
