The above numbers are correct. This is the paper that the numbers are from. It used to be free to download from Swift Engineering website. I have the pdf, but I...

You are correct in that there is a bit of an enforcment loophole in the rules are written and enforced. I would argue that current state of F1000/FB does not support the necssary technical effort and...

100LL is low lead by aviation standards not automative standards. There is still plenty of lead in it. Aircraft engines using 100LL run hot because they are (mostly) air cooled. The 100LL deals with...

It is definitely not worth it for an any team to take resources away from other parts of the car to develop an aero program. Most of the "big name schools" that run aero do it because they have the...

Have a long think about what you want to do with your life and what you enjoy doing. Pick your priorities from there. Personally, I focused on the car and let school slip. Whenever I reflect on my...

A universal class wide inlet restriction will do nothing to keep one engine from being more powerful than another. It just puts an absolute cap on total horsepower available to the class. A better...

You proposal is both fair and easy to enforce in tech. Also, once developed, and assuming the restriction spec dosen't change a package will stay competive until parts can no longer be found. The...

How would one enforce this rev limit? That is the only downside I can think of. A SIR does pretty much the same thing. Instead of stopping the engine from reving over the specified speed it just...

So, just to be sure everyone is on the same page. When you guys are talking about restricting the engines are you talking about restricting all engines as a whole, or just individual makes and...

It looks like the Bazzaz does not use/need wheel speed and simply limits the rate of engine speed increase (RPM/sec). With a chassis data system and some care in tuning it could be pretty useful. Not...
