Radiation questions regarding hopped up cars/parts

[ttypewhite]

I have a question for you guys. Does a GN that is modified give off radiation when its running or parked after its been ran (83lb injectors, no cat, etc etc etc 9/10 sec car)? What about some used car parts that you would keep in your basement? It is just one of those questions that I have always had in the back of my mind that I never acted on. So let me hear what you guys think. My main reasoning is I have a wife and 2 beautifull childern and I would hate to hear that I would be putting them at risk of any sort of radiation.

When running there is some Radio Frequency radiation, but nothing of way of anything related to what one thinks of when the word radiation is mentioned. Any smoke alarm is a million times more potentially dangerous then a GN. After all you could in theory make dirty nuke with a couple million (maybe billion, I forget the exact number) smoke delectors.

I'm a nuclear engineer by trade, and the answer is a resounding no.

Not anymore radiation than you get from the sun.

Are you a Hypochopndriac ?

I think that's the word I was looking for. Did you come up with that thought or the wife? I thought I'd heard everything. Anyway stop worrying or you'll die from an ulser!!!!! just having fun that question was good for a chuckle. don't worry, be happy
