Walter,
This is a fascinating subject - and I'll track you down at the GAMI or JPI booths new week to learn more.
The above quote leaves me a bit confused - maybe I need to "unlearn" a few things first. We are taught the best economy is at peak, and best power is at 50 ROP. To me this implies that the max HP is specifically at the 50 ROP point.
From your statement above, should I assume you are saying that the HP is a constant for everything ROP (whether it's 25 ROP or 150 ROP)? It makes sense that we are "air" limited when ROP, but is the HP curve really flat in that region?
See you at OSH.
