It should exist as it surely does exist on aircraft engines (e.g. Pratt&Whitney Twin Wasp operators´ manual has SFC curves), tank engines etc. Of course, the allowable variable may be greater, but that is what I am looking for. E.g. "max. continuous power, sfc 180 +-2% g/hp/h". This data does it but "approx. 180 g/hp/h" doesn´t. Preferable I´d have the sfc curve over the engines entire speed range.
