Sorry this has gotten so far away from Kammbacks!
CobraBall: It sounds as if you're talking specifically about a "spoiler" of the kind that is placed at an angle to the airflow to create drag and force in a particular direction. I got the impression that Geebee was asking about a "Kammback" as a design that deliberately follows the ideal curve for some distance in order to avoid creating extra drag.

It is a "shift".I work with this so infrequently that I'd like to have the text in front of me so I don't mis-represent it.All of the BSFC map architecture remains constant,however the road-load horsepower curve drops away and I really need to have it in front of me (Hucho's work ) to make the best go of it.I'll shoot for tomorrow as the weather is bad an I can't work.If any lurkers have the text and can post the maps please do!
