Actual BSFC Has anyone gone through the exercise of finding out their actual BSFC while on the dyno? I reviewed some logs and found mine to be around 0.78, which is high but not unreasonable....
Never really took any time to think of what I would do with the information if I actually had it, I could see how it would show a potential fuel issue, but ( as a tuner ) I think of so many factors involved to actually getting the "right" numbers out of a car. I would love to see some sort of info in how to use ACTUAL BSFC to learn more about the running state of the engine.

Well the lower the BSFC the more efficiently power is being made, so trying to minimize it works towards being more efficient. I am curious about the rule of thumbs for NA and FI engines...such as where did they come from, and how were they derived? I feel like mine is high, but if other guys have similiar ones (since all LS engines are fundementally pretty similiar) then I wont worry about it.
