What I find interesting may not mean a hill of beans to others, but here it is: The perfect overlap of HP to torque on dyno graphs. The difference between brake HP and HP. The difference between diesel engines, naturally aspirated and turbo'd. Same with gas jobs. C.I. vs C.C. RPM vs ability to attain RPM's. Throw in engine braking, stall speed, "feel in the seat", absolute sustainable torque, quickness vs. being fast, and its alot to take in. Then there's 2 stroke vs 4 stroke, Rotary's, Jet propulsion, turbine's, valves per cylinder, scavenging, yeah I got a headache now. But Chip is on the money. My little view of unique situations doesn't change mechanical facts. I'm gonna read all I can of Kevin Cameron and report back at some point. But I apologize for clouding this thread with my limited experience with engines, large or small. And before anyone jumps any conclusions, this is not tongue in cheek. But further research is called for. I'm only going by experience, so I have to do the research. And I will. But so far the numbers are the numbers.
