| who Steve Simmons is. If you want to get at who should be offended, it might be me. First, you state this as a graduate level discussion, and then you make some basic thermodynamic assumptions that are just plain wrong. You wanted feedback and you got it. It is funny, because whenever anyone questions what you write as possibly being incorrect, you get offended. Thicker skin is definitely needed. You will always know more about ECU and A/F mixture ratios because that is what you have been trained in and have experience with. As I am sure you know more about many other things Z related. I am a Chemical Engineer, and being forced to spend countless hours regurgitating thermodynamic equations in school will allow me to see the mistakes that you made in your assumptions and/or description of a basic process. That is it. I am NOT saying I am smarter than anyone else, just that I have more expertise in this particular area than you may have. I did not know it meant Exhaust gas temps.. it was what I guessed it to be. Thankfully, my logic was then correct because I guessed the acronym correctly. I would think your theory of constant A/F ratios giving a constant EGT will hold true. It makes logical sense to me because the RATE of combustion would be approximately the same. Of course, denser gas (with NOS, etc) and increased RPM's would play a role, as I am sure there are tons of other variables. I still don't understand your contradiction about A/F ratio and EGT's. You stated two different 'truisms'.
