wait... 93 doesn't burn hotter than 89? Next you'll tell me a 160 stat doesn't make your car run cooler thatn a 192.
I keep hearing this but fail to see it. The other "Mustang forums" at least, were all bought out by companies that don't give a ****. They run old software, non-dynamic interfaces, and are moderated either by someone with half an interest or some corporate glass jaw.
Everyone says, "OMGFTWLOL!!!!!...dotdotdotBBQ, the forums are dyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. That's not really the truth. On any given month (even the slow ones) we average between 5500 and 8000 posts by unique users (meaning posts are only counted one time if they create multiple posts in a month).
If anything at all is being killed, it is people who are not used to being held accountable for what they say (an unfortunate side effect of being a community). They're the ones that come in spouting BS and expect everyone to bow before their brilliance. What happens is: You guys either run them off because they are folks that should be asking questions instead of making statements or... They mysteriously disappear for mostly the same reasons.
It's when these facebookers get tired of being told that a cat-back is worth 150 gigapower or that carburetors are the end-all in performance, that they eventually end up here.
To me: FB is a sift, not the competitor. FB is also where they end up after having the door slammed in their faces for being a dumbass.
Honestly, I don't have the energy to try and educate these types about the simplest of things.
How many FBers do you think there are that still think 93 octane fuel burns better/hotter than 89 octane? It's exhausting.
You don't say! Step into my office...
Be interested in what fuel they used. Not saying it's impossible by any means, maybe even possible with e85.Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger ran a Camaro at Bonneville with a centrifugal blower blowing thru a carb. They stated they didn't use an intercooler because the atomization from the carb actually drops the intake charge temp 100 degrees. I had to back it up and play that part again, because I didn't think I heard it right..
the heat issue is a byproduct of running on any alcohol based fuel... few guys i know have had issues even getting heat into the motor with it. i really wish we could run M1 with the 85mm on the race car to help keep the temps down. with the solid filled block once it gets warm... it stays warm.... for a long time!!!I recently switched from C16 to Pro E85 and I noticed right off that the engine took a lot longer to warm up. Even after a pass driving back down the return road and back to the pits, the car ran a good 20 degrees cooler. And this is with starting the run about 30-40 degrees warmer engine temp than what I would run with C16. With the C16 I tried to keep the engine very cool, as in the temp gauge had not hit 120 degrees yet, while with the E85 I am starting the run at about 140-150 degrees. BTW I have an engine oil pan heater and I like to keep the oil over 180 degrees before making a pass.
Hold up. What in the world are you mowing in the winter???To be fair, my lawn mower doesn't start worth a damn without the choke and it's tricky in the winter. Damn carbs
White stuff, it's a red neck snow blower!Hold up. What in the world are you mowing in the winter???

Everyone knows NOS is where it's at for a lawnmowerMaybe he was trying to turbo it one winter when he was bored
Tanner on his lawnmower, he's in the closet about his carb obsession.Everyone knows NOS is where it's at for a lawnmower
