Default Internal Combustion Engine Induction Tuning Paper

I found this and thought it might be of some interest.

Its a powerpoint presentation. But I have uploaded it with a .hpl extension because of its size. So, you will need to download it, and rename it to view it.

Cool, downloaded. I am looking for more information on engine stuff. I am getting into more complicated issues with my car and the exhaust related pulses. I got some testing to do this weekend to get Larry Meaux some results.

Actually, the biggest thing of interest was the Visard "rules of thumb" for runner length and diameter. Very nice chart to use when fabbing a sheetmetal manifold.

Saved for future reference....

Thanks J-Rod!
