Air Flow @ RPM (compressor inlet).......................744 CFM (21.1 m3/min) @ 3000 RPM
Exhaust Flow @ RPM (engine outlet)..................1962 CFM (55.6 m3/min) @ 3000 RPM
2.6 x more flow into exhaust than intake.
That is much less than I imagined, but I guess it shows how much heat is absorbed into the system.

Is that a "Power-joke"?? You are really in the clouds. A 7.3, even stoked up is easy money for my V-10, loaded or solo, take your pick. Done it too many times over these past 4 years. Only the newer stock diesels can hold up to my V-10, they do have the poop.

I wonder if pilots flying Boeing Jetliners gab about which one of their airliners is faster than the other. If you wanna fly fast, fly a fighter.
Me, its all about power and economy. The 7.3 has it, all day.
Oh, and I haven't sen a faster V10 yet...

The main issue is that THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEANS.

That might be a way to put it and it might describe a lot of folks. There's also the ones that don't know what horsepower is. You can't have this conversation w/ somebody that doesn't know what horsepower is. If you ask them to define 1 horsepower and they can do it then you can continue w/ the conversation.

What part of spending more money for the vehicle and more money to maintain it doesn't fit into your "economy" figures?
I just don't understand why you diesel guys STILL don't get that part. Economy has to do with amounts of money spent, you guys think just fuel mileage figures ino that and you're all DEAD WRONG.
Wanna see a faster V10? Ask ANY of them to race you. You will lose. Especially to a 3v V10.
