    I've seen many people complaining about hitting the wall after doing some mods to their cars. This happened to me one time, I figured it out and now it has not happened since.


    PRatio = Look at it as you would MAP. If your seeing a peak of say .95 at ooh maybe "peak torque" and then it starts to taper off this is a clue. What would cause a peak PRatio number at peak torque?

    Another scenario. Say your forced inducted. Before you made 1 bar peak boost. You make some changes to the intake, maybe port some areas, fix the short turns of the intake and so forth. You re-test your theory and find that now your making 12 psi of boost and you gained @ 20 rwhp. You lost boost and increased horsepower? Is this possible.... well yes it is. You eliminated a restriction and boost is a measurement of what?.... restriction. Same theory applies to a NA motor what comes in most come out, camshafts with greater intake lift vs exhaust lift in these cars rarely win.

    I think I actually saw a grin on your cars bumper when the motor was delivered. Gonna pull the piston out behind closed doors so it won't know what's up. J/K. You'll be up and running this week, need to get all the cars out this week. Big plans this month.
