It cant be real.... who puts Kevlar fuel lines and Titanium connectors on their engine. Maybe Tom IS right, you are building the space shuttle

Seriously though, Todd wanted me in the picture but I politely declined... I am so good looking I would detract from the motor

Something tells me the air delivery system will no long be a constraint. On the other hand I know better than to get too excited now as nothing ever goes as planned.

I have a feeling with any luck that this motor is no longer about how much power it can make , but rather how quickly we can get her to respond through a prescribed rpm range. The new rods look like their weight is going to be in the magnitude of 345 to 350 grams per rod. Coupled with everything else it looks like she will be quick.

That's sorta like calling our sun hot
