[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 51208, member: 778"] To answer Alyn's question, if you were to couple two 100 hp Vincents, would the dyno read 200? The answer is no , frictions of the coupling means would reduce the reading by the amount of the friction read in hp. The Vincent liner has had various fuel mixtures, 80-10 and 10 , 50% nitro mix , and straight alcohol . At present the liner is on 100% alcohol. I might add when the liner was first built the size of the engines were 1000 cc each , they are now 1500 cc each. Again tomorrow I will go into fuel, its advantages and disadvantages and what makes it tick. Cheers Max excuse the sp [/QUOTE]
