More on supply side pressure

I'm confused... if our injection pumps would fly apart at 6400 engine RPM, then how come gassers can do that easy?

Because they don't use the VE pump to inject fuel... ... ... . the Cummins does.

I dont think our engines would survive 6400 rpm, no matter what was injecting the fuel. I think if it was a gasser, it would still fly apart, due to the weight of the parts involved. Remember, our Cummins engines have a long, slloooww stroke, so high RPMs are not feasible. The V8 gassers can do it because thier stroke is short, thus it has less distance to travel. Plus, with the rods, pistons, etc, being lighter, they can stop and start the other way faster.



Clear as mud?



Pastor, dont feel TOO bad; even the leaders fudge up now and then. Just be sure to scrub the pews really well. Some od us smell bad enough as it is, dont need rats and pigeons adding to it.
