> My bone-stock KR2 with a 75 hp VW 2180 burns 4.0 US gph (3.33 UK gph) at 148 mph, throttled back a bit to conserve fuel, turning 3150 rpm"
My bone-stock KR-1? gets almost exactly those same numbers. WOT 3.9 GPH 148 MPH at 10K and above. I run as lean as the engine will let me (in cruise - not in climb where the excess fuel is needed for cooling) which is to say, as lean as I possibly can. I've got a huge amount of cooling drag I've never gotten around to doing anything about. My air inlets are the standard size they used to build them back in the 80's. Way too big. Richard Shirley's are more like what they should look like. Mike KSEE ____________________________________________________________ Old School Yearbook Pics View Class Yearbooks Online Free.
