The Horsepower Chain - new book

[jayb]

I went back to the spreadsheet I did with the formulas contained in the book, and didn't see one regarding calculating the lobe separation angle.  Haven't got time to search the book for it at present, but if I stumble across it I will post it here - Jay

You should photocopy that sucker and sell 'em for $50. I'll bet you make enough cash for a couple weekends worth of race gas for the dyno.

Math???

Yikes!!!

If I could read AND do math...I'd'a probably outgrown this "car thing" years ago!

Thanks Jay. And hell, math is the cornerstone of this stuff.

Ouch my head hurts, glad I have people like Jay and Barry to translate. I did a lot of engine theory working at a machine shop back in the eighties but the technology has by far surpassed me. I am surprised that engines in new cars have not advanced past mechanical valve train and internal combustion though. I figured by now Hydrogen power would have been standardized for instance and electronic variable valve lift/timing is not in use.

I bought The HPC a few years ago as well as Jay Brown's recently and I got what i paid for. Good information. The idea of copying anyones book either to make a profit and or screw the author out of his due so others can get it on the cheap doesn't sit well with me. I have spent $thousands on failed projects over the years in figuring out on what doesn't work, so If I can buy information that saves me dozen's of hours of time or even thousands of dollars I will gladly pay the man or group that did the research for it. JMhO

Most textbook or any very specific book like this costs $100.  This is why when I got on the internet in the early 90's it was a BIG freakin deal for me.

I just got mine today, havent had time to actually run the numbers yet, but it has formulas for LSA, ICL, ECL, and duration.And they are not just copies of Vizards formula.
