    Any info on lean burn & swirl (in combustion)?

    Craig..Actually the "stumble" quote belongs to Steve Bozso(I wish I had said it first).I believe swirl,tumble/Piatti effect etc. are weak band-aids that attempt to treat a symptom..not cure the problem. Sorta like putting pre-cats on top of main cats ..more money,more weight,more...
