I was at the Napierville Nationals Open Series few years ago and I was taking a close look at the NHRA “open tech barn” at the back of the tower. A certain stocker had is engine check for the approval of new E.T. record, for the second year in a row.
While waiting and checking the Tech’s work, the car parts, suddenly a small detail pop-up… The golf ball effect…The car had a good or important orange peel surface…
Air is different than water, or is it? anybody that messed with overpowered outboard boats knows that primer is faster than smooth and shiny on the pad and the lower unit, 4,5 or 6 mph and how you go from stuck in the upper 90's to breaking triple digits......that "theory" that has been proven also applies to cylinder head ports...but what do I know? the "experts say, size matters more", not flow
