Im guessing sometimes its an opinion. The topic of fuel droplet size for example. They have never seen an engine increase horsepower by running larger fuel droplets, but rather then engaging in a debate as to how this could be, they brushed it off with an explination that was so vauge that I wondered how they are able to be on the cutting edge of new ideas without haveing that desire to find out why. Also this issue is very conflicting to their belief that it is best to allways have the best vaporization possible as seen in the wet flow testing.

I am still wondering if a good vaporizing engine can run a larger squish clearence or reduced quench to bore ratio without loosing horsepower wile yet broadening the horsepower curve. I know david vizard has tested things like this but dont know if total horsepower had deminished any from one build to the other and so their could be some penalty for this powerband increase.
