Great story....I think. I kind of passed out midway due to the enormous length of the post. Well, that, and I kind of got "excited" and that obviously caused severe blood loss to my brain.
You get the point.
Taking down an Fbody is something I've always enjoyed. I was talking to a buddy of mine that used to run demo derbies about my car. I was showing him this or that, and then the other thing. Says he, "That's all too complicated for me. I like to keep things simple with engines. I get confused with all that other stuff."
Now this statement may seem to be true if you didn't know this man, but I do. Says I, "WTF are you talking about, Bill? You're an A&P mechanic, and you've worked on turbine engines for the last 10 years!! How can this crap confuse you?"
And such is the case with many old school V8 boys I've ran into. The systems on our cars aren't that complicated, they're just different, and I think that tends to scare folks a litte. Just like any form of change. Well, I don't know how the hell I got on this tangent, but I think the main reason that people have been able to acheive things like 300whp with a 4banger is acceptance and flexibility. Lots of guys talked so much smack about the SRT-4 saying "It's still a Neon." True, but an incredibly adept Neon able to produce an obscene amount of power. We must stay open to change, and learn to embrace the new trends.
