Is this a good turbo cam
The negative overlap is at .050 lift, you still have some overlap below that. One of the goals of that grind may have been to limit the total overlap below .050 lift. I would not begin to think I could sum all the variables and say what and why it works or does not, but BeatV8 gives a good...- Nigel

Guest-Bots AI, They're Here And Choking Up Other Boards, Time For War!!!
That would help baseload power significantly, the datacenters needed to support the AI are projected to have very rapid load swings. Too rapid for the current grid capabilities. The harmonics and torsional oscillations on the rotating equipment may be destructive. Really large battery banks...- Nigel

Guest-Bots AI, They're Here And Choking Up Other Boards, Time For War!!!
AI is currently two things. 1) a facade 2) a really really good data search and compilation software. The reality is that it is a very sophisticated software that can rapidly search for information and than compile that information into good english (or whatever language) and make you think it...- Nigel

Total Frivolity
I stayed fairly sane and measured up until this last summer. I was not going crazy compared to some, but definitely turning it up.- Nigel

I don't think I would have prescribed a vacation after taking that kind of beating. :D- Nigel

Total Frivolity
In addition to trail riding I started doing MX racing. Just racing the +40C class. I thought I could keep it under wraps and minimize the chance of injury. That was not the case, I think injuries are inevitable unless you can rally keep yourself dialed in to being careful, which then makes it...- Nigel

E85 7th injector? Has anybody seen e 85 injected pre turbo?
The power to drive the compressor depends on the mass flow and the efficiency, not sure how that is effected by spraying in front of the compressor, but I am guessing the impact on compressor shaft power required is negligible. I can't say if the alky pump will like e85 (15% gasoline), that...- Nigel

E85 7th injector? Has anybody seen e 85 injected pre turbo?
What you want to look at is the latent heat of vaporization. Specific heat or heat capacity of the liquid plays a negligible part. The latent heat of vaporization for Meth and E85 is close, so you will get a similar benefit for cooling. Meth can run way richer though than E85, so you will get...- Nigel

Procar Elite seats please chime in
I have been distracted with dirt bikes for awhile, but I am planning a small over haul in the not too distant future. The aims will be to make the car more street-able. New seats, restore the AC, put a street oriented rear sway bar back on, maybe a few other things that need attention. Also...- Nigel
