1. voodoo (score: 1): Author: Shawn.Tobin@aud.alcatel.com (Shawn J. Tobin); Date: Thu, 25 Jun 98 09:00:00 CDT; I used to think that throwing a kluge of performance parts together would result in a really wicked ride. This kind of thinking was due to a vivid imagination and the naive assumption that advertisin; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00707.html (8,397 bytes)
2. RE: voodoo (score: 1): Author: Chris Kotting <ckotting@iwaynet.net>; Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 11:27:36 -0400; Quite right. Unless you've got money to burn, or access to a race shop (often the same thing), big buck performance mods don't seem to pan out.

Re: voodoo (score: 1): Author: "Editors, Molecular Vision" <jboatri@emory.edu>; Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 11:49:59 -0500; True and I agree with you and Les: throwing in a hodgepodge of smoke and mirrors may do a lot more harm than good. OTOH, like Chris Kotting, if I can avoid gapping points by using a Hall cell, I'll u; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00711.html (9,615 bytes)

RE: voodoo (score: 1): Author: Chris Kotting <ckotting@iwaynet.net>; Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 12:21:13 -0400; Actually, the major factor in having the "bang" happen closer to the "spark" isn't the exhaust valve opening. It's that the "bang" has to happen when the piston is just about at TDC (actually a tiny; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00714.html (11,384 bytes)

Put a Weber on it for about $350 (about the same to have it completly rebuilt) Then forget the stupid thermo controlled box with the flat air filter that doesn't match anything on th; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00715.html (8,607 bytes)

8. RE: voodoo (score: 1): Author: Les Myer <lmyer@probe.net>; Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 21:08:12 -0400; I think the flame travel varies upon a number of factors, instead of being constant. That is why engines ping when you step on the gas, even though the rpm is the same. If this was constant, I think; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00727.html (11,969 bytes)

Re: voodoo (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Fri, 26 Jun 1998 00:27:28 -0400; ...when the throttle is open, the engine's effective VE goes up so you get more "stuff" in the cylinder. This is probably what makes the flame front travel slower, the increased pressure. -- Trevor B; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00739.html (8,517 bytes)

RE: voodoo (score: 1): Author: Bert Kleinschmidt <rsk@relaypoint.net>; Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 23:12:34 -0700; My understanding of why cars ping when the throttle is wide open is that as the VE increases (as Trevor points out) the amount of air/gas mixture being compressed in the cylinder goes up, resulting i; /html/spridgets/1998-06/msg00747.html (9,204 bytes)
