woops. Misread that.

Have you guys seen this? I guess the news was broken in 2009, but this is the first I heard about it. 5-Stroke Concept Engine Design and Development | Ilmor Engineering All of these alternative engine designs have some great challenge to overcome, I see 2 problems with this one. 1...

I've never heard of this technology. They are saying they have a ceramic coated titanium rotor, and that only the transfer layer of pad material is what wears. If the ceramic coating does wear out, you can send the rotor back to have it recoated. Anyone know anything about this? Welcome to...

This does indeed look like 2 systems. And also looks like a job and a half to change plugs and wires on that thing..

David, I think they did the distributor setup like that because it gave more time for the coils to charge. It's difficult to have a high revving 12 cyl with a single coil and single distributor. At 8000rpm, which I believe is what these engines did, the time between ignition events gets pretty...

What's the weight difference between those and the your iron setup, Fran?

It's already been said in this thread how the transmission choice is a limiting factor. But if it wasn't, one of the upsides of a lot of torque is that you don't need many gears. Look at the old le mans cars and can - am cars that had large displacement. They had very few gears, mostly 4 speeds...

I have built a leak free SBC and it kinda scares me because it's not normal..:worried: I have a timken teflon seal on the rear main. They say these cut into the crank over time, but I figure that by the time that happens, its probably time for a new engine anyway. FI is so easy these days that...

A friend of mine has a GT3RS which is pretty much a garage queen now. He brought it out to the track once, but when he was out there, you could see that he was going easy on the brakes. I could see the fear of replacing those $6 or $7k rotors looming over him... Apparently all of those...

I wonder how much the MOVIT corvette kit is. Offizielle Website MOV'IT® - Bremsen, Bremssysteme, Bremsanlagen: Corvette C6 / Z06 (6.0 LS2) sure looks nice:

I have heard about this company called MOVIT offering aftermarket ceramic brakes. Official Website MOV'IT® - brakes, brake systems, braking systems: ceramic brakes I dont know much about them, but from what i understand, they are the most affordable.

Completely rule out the carb first. I was chasing down what might be the same issue on my car for many months when it just turned out that it was too rich.

That engine looks great in there. Cant wait to see this complete.

Their 917 looks stunning. They have some neat videos of it on their youtube channel... http://youtu.be/2_d8z9xbwKw

this looks like the original ad.... you can see they copied and pasted everything and cut out some things... GM LS 403 Stroker 560 HP Chevrolet 6 0L Chevy Motor | eBay

This is where we disagree. I believe there is a lot of waste and fraud in government spending and most of the resistance to changing these are entirely fabricated. Here in Illinois, this kind of fraud is now legendary...

It makes sense. But why do we have to connect only taxes with debt? shouldn't the government be accountable as well? If the debt is huge, shouldn't the government tighten up and be more careful about spending/borrowing? I don't think its possible to argue against that, right now, our...

So it kinda sounds like you're saying that the taxes should be pegged to GDP? That would mean that some percentage of GDP will be taxed. So if the GDP is 16 trillion, what percentage of that should go to taxes? Also, does this percentage fluctuate depending on what the GDP is? So if the GDP...

Ok, lets raise taxes. But what are we going to do when the next round comes? When the government continues to spend and gets bigger and we find ourselves in the same predicament we are in now? Do we just raise taxes again?

So Jim, How long do you think it will take for us to pay off this debt? That's another question you will dodge and not ask.
