sorry if I sounded annoyed (which I was not) accept my apologies on the tone
of the message.
nah, waitting for my exhaust to arrive (will be here on weds.)
then I will tune the car and find some time to get it finally dynoed (I
myself would like to know what that puppy is giving me.

=>I didn't assume anything!
=>I know what engine you have. I was reciting the specs on Saturday at
=>Bigmac's (don't get a big head over it).
=>Do you know what engine Dan Smith has (the guy that started this
=>thread!)??
=>JH, JH, JH!
=>Everybody's talking about engines with KS ignition with no mention of a JH
=>(which WAS the original question)!!
=>So, I stand by what I said!
=>BTW, got a dyno on your hotshit "hybrid" yet?
