theres alot less oxygen at altitude. less oxygen=less power. im not sure if they still do it but in nhra drag racing they used to be allowed to run a higher nitro % at the denver track to compensate for the altitude power loss Exactly, but if the pressure is the same at sea level and denver the oxy...

Re: altitude ?

Most of the older gas stations back home had a dedicated two stroke oil pump next to the regular gas pumps, they had a dial on the front so you could select the ratio then pump the handle once per gallon :D I'm surprised with that kind of popularity there wasn't any kind of 2-stroke prime mover dev...

unless it came out like FDRs new deal. Put then to work building highways, dams, bridges, etc. Hell, while we're at it, give everyone jobs drilling for oil! yeah......then every one would hate him. I don't see the environmentalists nor the black community standing behind Obama's "new deal".

Some diesel generators used for compressors on refer trailers use tungsten piston tops and sleeves. Thats 3000f + not the lightest material but interesting. Rumored to last over 100,000 hrs between service. There are also some Ti alloys that may work and lighten things up considerably.

I agree they will not last long, but the fact still remains there is only so many calories in said amount of fuel. A engine could be designed to run at higher temps to use the extra lean condition especially for economy and possibly more power.

Thats a big time bull shit statement when you think about it. It usually involves a government job that you do nothing at or at the very least a job that causes more problems than it solves.
