Nowhere, in either equation, is the "amount of fluid on top of the piston" even a factor. Flow through a hole is a product of cross-sectional area only, and not volume. All of the other variables are contant (viscosity, diameter, length, pressure, etc)





damn...and you race toy cars

I have been running the car for 2 years and havent cut anything but the spring retainers so they sit lower and it gives me 10 times more droop than I will ever run, although I think the biggest tire I can run is 2.30, but on foams
I think the car is prime on 2.22-2.25.
