- With 100lbs of manifold pressure at least you won't need much of an ignition system once you get to that point ought to light just fine without a spark.. Dave -- Original Message -- From: <neil@dbell

- Once you get to those kind of spontaneous-detonation temps, ignition timing is both moot, and random. Water/alcohol injection and a direct port timed fuel spray might help, along with a dry ice and n

- I have read some about HCCI and while it is interesting, relatively high power outputs don't look like they are in the cards without a considerable amount of manifold pressure. So far experimenters
