Horse Power
I am doing some equations from class on my car
Brake Specific Air/Fuel Consumption
Thermal Efficiency
100% Volumetric efficiency and all that kind of stuff.
What horse power and Volumetric efficiency is my Series 2 running at cruise control 55mph?
Thank you

That'* a good question. Had my aeroforce set to HP and I seem to remember it saying less then 50hp when cruising on the highway. Not perfect by any means, but a good general number.
I'll go ahead and say thats around 20% VE seeing as we learned the scale for newer cars to be 15-20 at idle and 115 at wot. so our engines need about 8.154grams of fuel per minute per cylinder. Do you know how to find how many pulses per minute the injectors need to do for that?

I don't think that'* right. Should be.
1600/60=26.67/4=6.67/6=1.11
It'* the number of strokes. Each cylinder fires once per 4 strokes. I think this is right.
