Thanks guys. Mike, my face is pretty much back to normal so I am ok to go outside allowed by dr. which is nice... but I was kind of going outside anyway... just not very much. [/Q
David; you probably don't realize the extent of your many talents, but they seem near-comprehensive in scope, and I can only say that all of us who are aware of your impressive abilities are justifiably jealous! You are a lucky man!
I am so very happy that your talents include an ability to analyze the vagaries of such a weird an esoteric phenomenon such as the turbocharged slant six. Lesser minds just shake their collective heads and wonder why anyone would bother, when swapping a V8 into the engine bay is so simple, but you have a good grasp on the pragmatic aspect of this activity, and the curiosity to drive it to fruition. I am glued to the screen here, watching your every move, because I KNOW that somewhere down the road, you will ultimately get together the wherewithall to install a forged reciprocating assembly in that 225 that will enable you to run boost levels, safely, that will result in 500+ horsepower, like Tom Wolfe and Ryan Peterson do... The potential is there...
I know you'll end up with that combination, eventually... I just don't know when...
I wish you luck in all you do.
I was a SF Bay Area denizen from 1980 'til 2004, when I retired and moved back to Arkansas. Lived in Walnut Creek from 1980 'til 1988; Hayward from then 'til 2004, when I moved back to Arkansas (Conway, a Little Rock suburb.) Grew up in Little Rock.
