    I was thinking more like 57 years but I guess it depends on how many weeks you count in a year.

    Probably about right. Seeing as if read my earlier post I predicted this to be about 1.5-2 years out. 10 pennies per week for 2 years will get you there.

    Hold on to them, cuz I'll pm you about it for sure.

    I'll start saving my allowance money now. if I save 10 cents a week, that should probably give me enough time.

    First off, that depends if you want me to put the .070 on the S50 or the M20, because if I put a .070 on an S50, that would put my compression ratio to a whopping 10.503:1. I don't know about the M20, because I could care less about an M20. You probably know that answer off the top of your head based on the car you have as your home page.

    Can't wait.

    But if I were to make a laundry list of the things I have been and will be getting, you will call me out on that too.

    When it goes in the car and I make my final numbers, R3V will be among the first to know.

    Not measuring my dick or crank hp, and that wasn't sponsored by any dyno manufacturer. Just a person relaying some research.

    So, because I don't know the difference between dynos, that automatically negates everything else I may or may not know?

    Logical. I like the way you think.
