BBQ Run / 20B numbers
Should be a fire
belching dragon of an engine at over 15psi, Greg.
15 Psi boost
would be roughly 60” Hg of boost which at an A/F ratio of 12 (assume you would
run it a bit rich at those boost levels) would give at 6000 rpm approx 550 HP
burning 51 gph (more power at high rpm and boost naturally) and
producing a total of 25000 BTU/Min of heat to be dumped through the
radiator and oil cooler. Boy, you will produce more heat energy that
gets dumped through your oil cooler (8484 BTU/Min) than my total (coolant and
oil heat) entire engine puts out. Hope you have big radiators and oil
cooler {:>).
