Matt,
I think you have spent too much time on simulators, desk top dyno is not the most accurate tool in the world but it is a fun toy. When you are ready to come out and play with the big boys, we can show you how it is done. Some of the guys on this site have seen my junk and how it works and thier past posts have told the story. You get worked up way too easy and it is way too fun to do it, try lightening up a little. As far as an open mind I try more stuff than most people even dream about which is why I am going to switch to Pontiac power in my Wag (desktop dyno'ed at 570 hp and 693 ft/torque but will be detuned by going to dished pistons). As far as reading a book my automotive library makes a librarian jealous (did you not read my first post?) and I have read them all. Practical experience is also worth a thing or two and I have 40 years or working on and driving compitition cars, 4x4's, big trucks, and bikes. I also spent many years in the engineering dept at GM and even some time at AMC engineering. I also do not take my own judgement as being 100% correct as I am always bouncing ideas off of people with huge amounts of automotive experience. I even learn a few things off this forum. Every now and then I can even answer a question.
BTW my offer still stands, so in the words of Mills Lane "Lets get it on!"
Pete, whenever you get down here we WILL hit the trails and I will want to come up to the upper this summer. My cousin just bought a pump with which to fill the pit from the swamp/pond.
