Just some numbers

[Bruce Plecan]

Was crunching some numbers today.
While on our diesel, just kinda interesting.
None intercooled, 436 CID, 60 PSI boost, 90%VE.
yeilds  almost 500dF of intake charge temperature.
(also 2,000HP, and 1,700 ft/ls Tor.)  prolly off from that
but just a hint of what it's doing.  BTW, dumping as
much water as we do, the number jump up.. 

On a 440 (-+) v-8 running 10 PSI boost 
IAT @ VE 110% always around 300dF
Would take well over 95% Efficency Intercooler to get
"reasonable".   50-80% drops IAT like 150dF.
Will take a ton of intercooler to get under 150dF IAT
