How so? The O.P. never stated his intended purpose in this engine choice, and since the O.P. is "New to V8's" as also stated in the title of the thread itself, I happen to think that this is fairly pertinent information. Its all about the intended usage and the resourses at hand. If I had intended to FULLY hijack the thread, i never would have requested the P.M. But that is no longer relevant, as the P.M. has already been sent.
Either way, Im sure the O.P. is sitting back laughing about how his simple question got so far "off topic".
