60 inches wide front fenders, 2 feet tall.
cockpit is 42 inches tall by 35 inches wide.
The windshield is behind the fenders. Does that mean my frontal area is 10 square feet, or 10 plus 5?
No idea on Cd. .30 should be pretty easy. .20 possible????
Lets guess 1000 pounds.
I've got a few ideas to try to improve efficiency on the engine. lean burn is a no brainer. cam profiles are worth messing with. And i have a couple of other ideas from old school rednecks.
If I get close, but can't get it all the way, I've thought about using V-tec to hold two cylinder's exhaust valves open, and shut off two fuel injectors. Idea would be I would shut off two cylinders and lose the pumping losses at part throttle.
I've got another couple of ideas to minimize pumping losses and relieve the penalties of a large cc engine.
