Fortunately I am not rich, If I were rich, by now I would be poor. I want a lab with technology like a bomb calorimeter to measure fuel fuel energy levels and flame propagation rates, and we all need a decent fully calibrated Dyno facility and machine shop and flow bench with swirl meter and so it goes on.

The problem with all that, is that if you are like me it leaves you wanting to know more and that leads to a life of depravity - secretly reading SAE papers, skulking around on all manner of web sites, reading things about EFI and air flow and carburation. Any books or article by David Vizard are worth reading.Īnything on F1 technology will make your head spin and is worth reading.
