2.8 power
#122
your mass is universally constant. it cannot be changed but your weight can. you said why in your last statement.

imagine that huh? so about that 2.8 power... exhaust is probably what will make you most satisfied with the car. water/meth injection is a good idea in any car too, you might even be able to get another few degrees of timing with it.

i never said anything insulting about anything you said, im not exactly sure why the **** your so offensive. i was trying to clear up an argument over some terms. arguing on the internet makes you look like the idiot. im here to learn about cars if you want to argue go to the local bar, find a dude smaller then you and punch him in the mouth. if someone disagrees with you, correct them with facts or concede you are wrong, its not that hard.
weight of an object = mass * gravity.
gravity is a constant, for all intents and purposes unless you want to make the math more complicated that it needs to be.
So for the sake of conversation and sanity
weight = mass.
the only time when this is not precise enough is in a physics class, but even then does not make anything happen which you are trying to say happens, such as CFM being a measure of mass. It's just not. It never will be. Go learn you a book.

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I know I need to open that bitch up and make it breathe better, but I have no money right now..... I have to wait till after I get back from basic and tech school, that's when I'll have some cash. It's nice to know someone out there actually remembered the original topic and isn't busy arguing about CFM. BTW, I wonder if this thread is close to setting a site record on amount of posts.....

There are 2 ways to look at it
1) You could talk about a certain volume of Air.
A 1 cubic foot box of air is compressed to twice atmospheric pressure. And for simplicities sake we say it is not heated. At that point you have the same mass of air but it's volume would now be half of what it was before you compressed it.
2) The compressed air will still fill the same amount of space. That space will just have a higher density.
I'm really not sure what your problem is in understand this. It's very basic and very intuitive.
I think I see this is where you are hanging up. You cannot compress something without affecting it's volume. To compress something and still fill the original volume you must add more than you originally had.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH@@@@@@!!!!
NOOOOO!
Higher MASS, yes. Same CFM. Mass is not space. Cubic feet is NOT effected by density. More lbs/minute in the same space, higher DENSITY.
