Can anyone fill me in on what to expect pulling with a "STOCK" 5,000' altitude engine in this humid, low altitude ..... Better pulling, worse pulling, hard to say [excluding track conditions, sled etc]

Thanks

Yes it will, the "H" engine came from Sugar Loaf Mountain in Chesterfield County. The flat pistons allows for a cleaner burn. It does not "whez" much in at a higher altitude. Also it is wise to park it on a slight hill so it will think about the mountains. P. S. There is no extra charge for this info. it came from "BIG DADDY".

Guess we'll just have to wait to see what this M will do, when it's ready. It's not mine, and I hope it won't be pulling in any of my classes. He's already got one that's doing a number on me in one class. Curious, ain't ya Red Hoss????? And a big THANKS to Big Daddy for the info.!.!.!.

Thanks for the feedback FLogger and Tim C.

It should run lean. Thin air less fuel. Dense air more fuel. You may need to adjust. It should need to be richened up.

High Altitude engines had higher compression to make up for the less dense air at higher altitudes. It oughta be an advantage in the lowlands as far as power is concerned.
