I understand exactly what you are saiying but at the end of the day its about what happens race time and on the track. we all were coming in within a lap of each other. my car was second fastest over all of the other 5 port by alot actually (picco, ison) while the modded Mito had me by a few mph. My engine is not modded at all.
I would like to see this 20% loss that you mentioned earlier though, where are you getting that from? i assume your dyno right?
when i say mod I mean port, polish etc etc
these engines are very sensitive to airflow restriction.....the power losses are very big from just small changes..... air filter too dense , small insert, INS box...all of it will cripple these engines and result in huge power losses....the more powerful the engine the higher the power losses...
in the end these engine rules have not resulted in cheaper racing, all they have done is substantially slowed the cars down... is this what the racers want ? do you racers really like the idea of leaving all that extra power on the table because of some noise issues at a track in Europe ?
