Hello Everyone,

First off, we all could greatly benefit from a handy, and independent editor. I messed up the title to the graph and I own that. As far as goofs, and Prof. Henry, I am a big fan, and help me as much as you can please, goofs... we all do it frequently. Remember when troubleshooting if you do the same thing and get the same result... Try something else. Is it logical?

One thing that just hit me was, gosh, I'd love to have a testing loop that was like the one in this example. I take the car out and 'around the block' but out and back to Squaw Peak Overlook, I don't have a chance to do that! Utah is awesome!

Another thing I just saw on the graph. Look at the magenta line.

It is much more consistent than the blue one. Especially on the decline. But it works better on the warm-up too, as pointed out by Prof. Henry. But I have to be a wimp and give props to my neighbor JM35 for pointing out that more data would make the picture clearer.

Sorry but one last comment to all readers, not pointed towards any 'Barner... But if you have an original Ford casted block... Have you really ever seriously cleaned it out? Are you sure there is not _fill in the blank quantity_ of sand/rust/other in there blocking passages and taking up volume? Just asking.
