Alright Carl, not so fast. You can't get away without a CONSIDERABLE
amount of *more* details. Are we to surmise from your "p.s. ... hehehe"
above, that the latter example is the proof-case of the former "1180HP
on pump gas w/ blown-intercooled 8.3:1 CR"?

See, I started a completely new thread, so we could sit for a spell and
discuss this. Now how were the engines built up, are there pixs, how did
you estimate EGTs with a wet exhaust, etc. etc. What kind of
instrumentation/sensing did you have on the run. I'm presuming this WAS
fuel-injected. Enquirer minds wanna know. :)
