I see where you are getting you numbers but parrasitic losses are not a persentage of the overall power of the engine.

yeah they are. if the pulleys relieve 5% of the loss from the stuff then its a 5% gain on a sliding scale

When i heard you were thinking about going to a automotive school to learn about cars, I thought, man what a waist of time and money, but, I do beleive I have changed my mind about that.

thats an easy fix.

cars come naturally to me. i rebuilt my first carburator when i was ten. i rebuilt my first 48 when i was 14 and i hit 12.573 in a 1.6L 4cyl when i was 18.

and tell me what part do have in building those cars? show me a picture of you and your team by your car. then show me a picture of you by your car.

ill discuss/debate you on any automotive topic. so far all you have brought to the table in our discussion was your "convincing" subtration.

trust me. the gains seen from underdrive pullies graph on a parabolic scale
