    On the racepak software when you have a flow meter you also get a graph for cc's per turn. I am curious what this is a measure of and how/if anyone uses it to check for problems or tuning aids. I am just not that familiar with cc's per turn. Anyone explanations would be appreciated. Thanks,
    Eric

    CC's per turn. This is a relationship between the fuel flow meter numbers compared to engine RPM calculated internally by the program.

    CC's are a measurement. Cubic centimeters.

    Per turn is one crankshaft revolution.

    If the CC's per turn number was 10, that means each time the crankshaft made one full turn the fuel system produced 10 CC's of fuel through the fuel system as measured by your flow meter.

    CC's per turn is used to track your fuel curve and to determine how linear your system is.

    What do you mean by linear? Like if the line has any abrupt changes, you have an issue somewhere?

    It will change in value if a fuel bypass turns on or off or pump loop poppet opens.

    CC Per Turn is a way to check and see when a bypass opens and also to zero your graph (or another way to do so). Remember when looking at CC's Per Turn in reference to time (secs.) on the graph that "NHRA Time" is not going to be the same as the graph, there's a small difference.

    Depends on where you set your zero seconds start time. Some start it at the fuel pressure change, some at the first tick of driveshaft, some have their own method that can match the time slip conclusively.
