Default Katech on Speedvision (2001) - C5-R Program development

Here is a video you guys will like. It explains the development of the C5-R program. It's a little old, but the technology carries over to the C6.R program.

nice video, I love the sounds of the C5/6R's, visit Lime Rock every year; nothing else on the track has that deep tone

Gary that is what I am asking????

Dam I wish my math skills were better and I grew up in a house hold of engineers.

Q=AV
Q is the volume rate of flow
A= area
V-velocity

If you know the displacement and RPM you know the CFM. The rules dictate the restrictor size so then you know the area. Sonic flow starts at around 1100 ft/sec so say 1000 ft/sec is the upper limit because of losses. Now all we need to do is solve for the max RPM. I don't know the restrictor or size and engine displacement and there are some resonance effects but we could get fairly close. Keep your units consistent.
