Squeezed a score of 1226 out of a finely tuned engine- will post a pic/data once I work out how to export the engines/find the 'Take photo' photo...

I suggested this scenario when the call for scenario suggestions went out, I was quite excited to find that I was selected for the demo and I was even more excited when I became the insane scenario.

I put a few extra engine runs into this scenario as I feel its a little bit like my baby and it needed a little extra attention from me :ugeek: :oops:

Ok well I was able to 1262 points once you figure it out it becomes quite easy :D

I got it to 1247 points. Gonna try for some more over the weekend, but I really have no idea what else I can do to squeeze some more out of it.

I got so close last night. I have everything better than what was required except I could not get under 0.6 economy.
Ended up running out of time and I had to go to bed (was getting to late) because I have work today.

I am going to go back once I get this last one done and try for better scores on all the challenges starting over again.

Managed 1215 out of it, that's where I'm hitting the wall. It's real quiet though, and makes a lot of power. Still way under where it needs to be for fuel economy, even with the fuel trim set to 100, lol. I basically just made an engine that wants more and more fuel (power was going up just slightly faster than economy, for a net gain of like .2-.3 points score per point of fuel added). I feel like its got a little more in it, but I end up running out of RON before I can add any more timing or compression. Good challenge though, definitely had to think on this one until it clicked. First scenario that I maxed out.

What head type are people running for this? I made semi-successful ones with both SOHC and DOHC heads.

To anyone struggling, just remember that some parts synergize/tunings well. Don't just experiment with changing individual things, because you'll probably find that some of your other parts/tuning is ill-suited for the new part/tuning.

In this case, to make the engine fit size requirements, it's DOHC vs Pushrod. What sorts of parts might be good in a higher powered DOHC engine that would be wasteful in a pushrod engine?
