So if you guys are ONLY interested in maximum power (torque) output, then you make a top fuel drag engine, right?
Blower, no intercooler (no time to cool air charge @ 8,000 rpm), nitrous fuel, and overfueling. Note overfueling is running so rich that a bunch of the combustion takes place outside the exhaust pipe, just like a battleship gun.
Why? It produces the biggest area under the pressure time curve! Again, the engine has to be built to take this overpressure condition, it won't last very long (fatigue cracking of parts), and it damn sure isn't fuel efficient!
But I thought these threads were for the average slob pulling stuff with a truck - not a drag strip motor (exception @Wild one , et. al.)
