Windage tray (score: 1): Author: sosnaenergyconsulting <sosnaenergyconsulting@cox.net>; Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2004 10:44:19 -0700; Hi all: I just read something that recommended a windage tray for freeing up some horsepower on a typical street car. Anybody tried one of these things, or have some feedback on them? Best Regards Da; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00024.html (7,323 bytes)

RE: Windage tray (score: 1): Author: "Theo Smit" <theo.smit@dynastream.com>; Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2004 13:37:51 -0600; Most engines expend a significant amount of torque swishing the crank and rod big ends through the fog of oil in the crankcase. A windage tray and/or crank scraper helps to keep the oil that's in the; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00028.html (8,086 bytes)

It seems everything you had to say backed up what I'd read, so I think it'll be something I'll pursue--since I won't be adding power through intake or exhaust mani; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00029.html (7,536 bytes)

We happened to try one on a 350 that we were dynoing years ago and what we found was a clear 15 HP difference from a stock LT1 windage 'tray' and a Custom built Hamburger Oi; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00045.html (8,517 bytes)

I should see if I can find and digitize the audio we had of Bob's car at the end of the straight at Race City - that was a sou; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00050.html (7,494 bytes)

Of course, we all know the numbers tend to get a little inflated - Right? 15-25HP in the pan, another 15 in the water pump, and then a bunch more is lost in the dr; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00056.html (8,660 bytes)

RE: Windage tray (score: 1): Author: Stephen Waybright <gswaybright@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2004 06:15:24 -0700 (PDT); I can't claim to know the answer for sure, but I'd believe the windage tray saves considerable energy by reducing the work of the crank and lower connecting rods accelarating all that oil slosh aroun; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00061.html (8,448 bytes)

But, since the gasoline internal combustion engine is at most 30-35% energy efficient, with all the remainder being dissipated as heat, when we talk about a 150 HP engine, we're a; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00064.html (8,686 bytes)

Re: Windage tray (score: 1): Author: "Al Johnson" <twojohnsons@cox.net>; Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 11:42:23 -0400; I wonder if they make much of a difference now given that most of us now use synthetic oil, which probably creates much less parasitic drag than the old dino-based oils.; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00074.html (7,619 bytes)

Re: Windage tray (score: 1): Author: Stephen Waybright <gswaybright@yahoo.com>; Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 16:40:34 -0700 (PDT); I am sure that synthetic oil is no better on this issue than the old fashioned stuff. This is not a thermal breakdown or lubrication issue. It's more of a hydraulic pumping power loss... and for that; /html/tigers/2004-06/msg00077.html (8,226 bytes)
