I'm glad you're a car guy so I can talk to you about this. I have a question about your post. My auto teacher was around your age so I'm sure you guys have the same basic principles in mind... =) I had figured in the backpressure partly because of the increased mileage claims. Now, if Ganassi's cars increased in power, then, as the saying goes, more power equals more fuel right? The drawing of more gases out of the exhaust would create extra suction which would result in more power by sucking in more fuel through the intake while the valves are in overlap. You also mentioned the increase in torque. I'm not sure where in the rev range this would occur, but we both know on the lower end, backpressure actually helps it, and losing more and more of the pressure moves it increasingly higher in the rev range. So, either 1 of 2 things would have to have happened. One, Ganassi is losing some efficiency in the pipes, pre-muffler, or two, the muffler's increased mileage can't be had. What are your thoughts?
Why go to Vegas when you can play with pinks?
