[Fot] SCCA Archives (now bore size)

[Kas Kastner]

I suppose the power per inch reduces as you keep increasing the capacity and
do nothing for the volumetric efficiency.  But, the bigger bore does help with
the compression ratio and allows a reduction to the head milling. In the end
though, as a good driver, you'd feel 6 bhp the next time you ran against your
Dad. (so would he) With 17, hah, he'd have you out in the woodshed for a
"talking to".

  If my calculations are correct, based in 1.2 HP per cu in, 89 MM
  would make 6.7 HP more than 87 MM.  92 MM would make 17.3 HP more than 87
MM.

  I'm not sure I could feel 6 HP.  I could probably feel 17,
  though.  I'm still going to run the 87's...
