(LOL, Ok L3 is still L3) ..aye, and Greg is here _way_ outside the traditional gasification box ;o) with his newfangled 9 dimensional math, but then again some math geeks claim _everything_ can be put in 8 (or 16?) dimensional math models of physics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octonion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sLnYi_AbEI ..relax, you don't need this kinda math unless you're trying to burn tar vapors in your engine rather than in your gasifier. ;o) > 5.7L for example. > 350 CID > > Greg -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
