Ongoing engine development is key to success of Enders engines
by Gary Nickerson
The strongest, most reliable engine for your car is our goal at Enders Racing Engines. All you should worry about is chassis set up and getting the power to the ground.
Improving the performance of racing engines is an ongoing and continuous process. While all engine builders look for the competitive edge, we think that racing engine development is where we outperform our competitors.
Over the years, we've learned that improving an engine's performance rarely comes from just one component. The days of simply bolting on performance parts to an engine and expecting results are gone. Today, it's about finding the right combination of components and building reliability into every engine. Creating more torque and horsepower are part of this equation, of course, but torque and horsepower curve shapes are just as important.
This is what makes engine development so important. With racing engines already at such high levels of performance, there are no silver bullets that will substantially increase results. Today, performance increases come in the details. And there's nobody that can match Kevin in this category. He spends endless hours reviewing dyno tests, communicating with customers, talking to vendors, reviewing driver and owner feedback and studying reports and reviews, all of which enable him to prioritize the areas where improvements can be made.
For example, we are currently working on combinations of camshafts, cylinder heads, intake manifolds and exhaust headers, combinations that produce user friendly horsepower and torque curves. We have found that horsepower and torque curve shapes are as important as any peak output. How the power is delivered has become our primary focus of engine development.
We have found that several combinations of subtle modifications to the upper end of an engine can produce the horsepower and torque curves that make our customers happy. It's a never-ending process. We understand that there's always more to learn, there's always room for improvement. After years of successfully building racing engines, we are still learning how to make them better.
Camshafts play a role in the engine development process. Understanding that a properly-designed camshaft should fit with the engine, Kevin is now designing and grinding his own camshafts. he has the ability to further enhance his modifications via custom grinding cams for specific cylinder head and manifold combinations.
During the offseason, the Enders Racing Engines team will be conducting extensive dyno testing with the next generation of camshafts, cylinder heads and manifolds. It may not be glamorous, but the results speak for themselves. Our customers get engines that win for them. |
