Re: More hot air



Graham Hilder comments about the temperature-dependent power increases
others have been citing, "Going from 114 to 129 HP is a 13 per cent
increase, which does seem an awful lot for so little effort..... very
nearly a completely free lunch, and there aren't too many of those
around."

Your assignment is to define the word "intercooler" as it applies to
automotive technology.  Give three examples where horsepower was
increased by a minimum of 13%, based on pre- and post-intercooler
factory ratings.

Remember: Knowledge *is* power.  This particular lunch wasn't free,
somebody's engineering degree paid heavily for it. :-)
