Doesnt have to be REALLY in depth but just the good highlights(unless they want to REALLY get into it)......... just a thought

It all starts with a really good topic...i do admit sometimes I get bored and try to but it's just 'cause I want to get some guys thinking and chiming in, that's what keeps it fun and keeps the 'old grey' lump inside our heads from getting (too) stale. The brainpower we have on this site is awesome and USUALLY ego's stay out of the really heavy tech stuff...and alot of times the REALLY HEAVY STUFF goes on "after class" on the phone or in PM's back-n-forth....but it's all in good fun and it can STAY FUN so long as we keep mutual respect for eachothers opinion.

I'm sure, I'm not the only one who's noticed the tech stuff around here is pretty stale. I don't like "bashing" threads but, admit I've had a few choice words to add to some of them over the years. I was a "lurker" on here long before I signed on. I remember when Dwyane Porter, Curtis Boggs, Jesse Lackman and even Jeff @ Modern would have neat tech stuff. I know there were others, I've forgotten. Hell, I remember when Brad Hawk had a flow bench and still went by Brad Hawk. Besides, what's wrong with bumping an old post??

Best 59* post engine data vs Brett's 09 EMC engine, almost the same out put from way different builds,Its kinda like old school vs new school if someone is good with moving posts to one page we could compare the builds and dyno sheets and discuss the builds or argue we do have all winter
