WOAH! Those are some loaded questions there that people take years to learn.

With that said...

There is no magical number for the most efficiant/max hp for lift/duration. It all depends on where you want the power being made, how broad you want the powerband being, how much power you want, etc. etc.

As far as heads go, you don't want to get anything that will get you too close to 10 and above for compression ratio, or you'll have to run gas that you can't buy at most pumps.

hmmm.. Ok Let's see..

i know theres books I could read and tech articles i could read.. But I'm a tactel(sp) and I have to learn with hands on projects.. however.. I can't do that right now So I'm doing the best I can with reading... So...

By Broad HP... Like everyone else I want the max... But really I like start out slow... and have high end HP instead of the Backlash 0-200 in a sec.... I just want to get to 300 HP... as in sig... of course I can't learn how do it all in one night ...


And to further my ???'s.. Enkil said "you don't want to get anything that will get you too close to 10 and above for compression ratio" How do i figure my compression ratio.. Its there a tech artical I can read or can you help with the formula....


Thanks guys..
