Thanks for the link, Todd. That link, and others contained therein, supply a lot of useful information for frustrated mechanical engineers like me. After getting more familiar with the information contained there, I can perhaps graduate from "smart azz" to "intelligent posterior" maybe?? - (Then I could be really be dangerous!

)

Obviously, you have pondered engine design waaaaay beyond that of all but the most devout enthusiasts; save maybe for an automotive engineer (such as yourself). You've made a significant investment in time, testing and materials for the LT5 project. I'd be curious as to what engineering characteristics and or potentials made you decide to explore the LT5 further, rather than some other platform?

I hope to get to meet you at BG this spring. If you wanted to hold court on your 427 project, I'm sure you could pack the auditorium. I know I'd be there in the front row, as would most of the FBI gang.
