Ed,
Please bring copies (electronic is OK) to Tracy's. I am interested in understanding the math and would like to work thru the theory. Even though I'm planning on a peripheral port engine this is really interesting stuff. Besides, if I were to come up with a RX-8 motor then I might need this info.
Also, you guys need to come to Tracy's and Laura's Fly-in. More fun than Oshkosh! I'm driving 13 hours to get there and consider it time well spent. You won't be sorry.

Ok, John - Having been down that road (building for 5 years total), I fully
undestand. I will say had anybody had "off-the-self" solutions to some of
the problems I encountered (regarding the conversion) I would have
undoubtedly be willing to spring a few buck. Like about the 4th time I
re-did my oil cooling set up - just so I wouldn't cook the engine in the
air.
Clearly, I'm a bit past that point - otherwise I wouldn't have all this time
to sit and the computer and play with developing equations {:>). So thanks
for reminding me of what my earlier perspective would have been like.
Best Regards
Ed
