Well, I know you can do alot with technology but I'll be a believer when I see how they can boost pressure at 11-1 compression already, on what we call gasoline in this country!

Are they going to shim the heads to bump down compression and then boost it?

Mark, if you or someone gets this package, how about letting us see it run uphill at full load in 100 degree heat on pump gas. (And for how long?)

I'd ask Dinan about their testing practices before getting this one.
