I wish. It's not the weight but the aero. 700whp is good for 200. You need around 1000whp for 250 plus craploads of aero. Even with 1000whp, you wouldn't get over 220mph in an S197 without lots of aero.
They break the classes up by vehicle type (car and truck in one class type, motorcycles for the other) then the classes are divided based on drive type (2wd vs 4wd) and transmission type. Groups can request a custom class though. If they were part of a custom class, then that could explain the...
No idea, but at any speed over 200mph depends more with aero than power. That car slips through the air effectively. My hp should be good to 250mph, but the aero of a brick. Anything over 200 will be a struggle. The mile has been the only goal I've been trying to build the car for. Much of it...
Need to pull my wheel sensors so I can hit up the Texas Mile. I'd just worry more about qualifying for the driver classes than actually winning anything. Pretty sure I can hit 200 (180 comes quick but that hard limit is like hitting a wall). You have to qualify at the lower speeds before they...
A little boost to this monster...I can't see why it shouldn't purr at 14psi. Right around 1200hp, I'm betting. Iron block, completely forged bottom end. Seems feasible.
Thorium salt reactors make the quest for fusion pretty much irrelevant. If we could only convince the feds to let someone build a full size prototype instead of other countries beating us to the punch because of some silly moratorium.
I'm not a new edge guy, but there is always a modifier for cold starts for open loop on fueling and one for spark.
You need to find those tables to correct for your setup.
Voltage of the fuel pump is derived from the duty cycle. A duty cycle of 1 should be 12v. 11.88 should be ok.
How does the fuel pressure look at idle and mid rpm?
I've run fiber in open outdoor wire trays. But, I can't say how well the cable will hold up to long term pole mounting.
Rent a trencher, you only need to go 2 inches or so deep. Make sure to buy burial rated fiber. Install a couple fiber underground posts. Hire a terminator or buy a kit and see...
For me, a stock Accord fits fine for a DD. I keep the weekend toy for the weekend.
It isn't a performance thing, it's just I've gotten to like the way they look and have plenty of power to merge with traffic.
Trucking has supported hydrogen for awhile now, but it still lacks good infrastructure. It's best suited to day haulers than otr. Not many Lowes, Flying J, etc., offer the filling services, if at all.
As for us little guys, unless the refiners are willing to pay for station upgrades, then it's...
Good luck to them. The lack of infrastructure is worse than the lack of infrastructure for EVs.
Takes oil and gas to make hydrogen as Sid asked.
Every "solution" to getting rid of oil and gas relies more and more on oil and gas.
