[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 103135, member: 54"] Well my take on it is there's been so much wrong information posted and some seem to be guys guessing what is true and what works. Others want to act authority over it and actively confuse it with what they think is needed by getting overly technical when the basics and physics behind it have been there all along. The single carb deal is in reality very simple in it's operation, supply a air fuel mixture that's at least close to what the engine needs. What we've been working on is refining on that by providing the proper flow of the mix (with the right size runners) and expanding that mix (with heat) to make best use of that mix. Both simplified explanations because the heat actually makes use of raw gas that otherwise would be part of the mix and wasted. There really isn't any mystery anymore. For the most part we know what works and what needs to be done and we know what happens if one part of the equation is [b]not[/b] done. Where I'm at is to test and refine mixtures and insulate for better heat transfer so I can get the best possible MPG out of my creation. All along the way I've learned a lot and passed it on here on the forums. It's up to everyone else to use it, or not because I don't claim to know everything and never will. I could be wrong on some things and there could be easier ways to do the same thing or better. That is why we post what we've done so others can add their ideas. Joe and I have been chatting how we could build a plenum with heat built in. We spend hours every day chatting about this stuff. Ideally a plenum and outlets with heat tube fittings sticking out of it is what we'd like to see. The VW plenum has a key feature built in that directs air flow into the tubes. I personally believe without this forced direction of flow, best performance and economy cannot be met. This is where we're at. [/QUOTE]
