    Turbo Size psi/volume

    LMAO I did mention my post was the dumbed down Gumby version ;) Funny how people get caught up with a theory and don't see the reality. Billy: Nice non Gumby post thanks!

    So you're saying a ct26 and a GT45 will flow the same volume/power at 10 psi on a 7M?

    differences between head studs

    UC's are usually used when there are different length studs in a head to get a more uniform clamp. NFI what purpose they serve in a 7M though.

    This part made me LOL! :) I'm quite happy if someone supplies the hardware/strain gauge and amplifier (already have the G sensors in place) to perform any tests required on this one but I won't spend my own $ to prove parts don't work.

    I place a lot of stock in Larry's opinion and if he'd been able to provide some evidence to support his stance I'd have made up a bar to test/develop. (as always I have my idea of the form it "should" take so it would actually do something when installed)
