Good for all But Great for New Coaters?

One never knows what he will find when serching? 1999 this is. A few things have changed but the rest is the same or norm.

Thank you Duke, which confirms all along that first powder will first liquefy, flow, gel and then cure. Which is why you should not cure so many minutes after gel

Well I was doing them, but never wanted to. The heat build up from powder is a good amount. I would rather have a thermal dissapent coating (personally). Most of these guys just want it too look good.

Example. For every 10F lower on a carb intake manifold for a car is 1% HP increase (rough numbers). Thats crank HP not wheel.

300hp - 10F = 3hp

300hp - 50F = 15hp

Some test have shown up to a 175f decrease on the intake.

Just a thought......

Ya, I know. Air cooled engines are the worse affected by PC. Liquid cooled, It doesnt make a difference, cause hte block/head doesn't dissipate to do its cooling. The water does

Whoa wait a minute... Where would the water get most of its heat? (Think about it)

Anytime you can keep fuel cooler is always a good thing on the intakes.

I tune my drag car,and mini rod pulling tractor base on exhaust gas temp right from the cylinders. Find a balanced temp that is close to 1575 *f at peak RPM. There are a few thought of tuning but I try to shoot at the leaning out method. Lean is mean, and fat is sluggish. But to lean, and pop goes a head gasket.

What are you using for EGT tunning?

Lean is mean, but watch out for detonation.
