Hey Jay and Alpiners,
Thanks for the uhhh interesting info and specs.
I can see now I've spent too much money on an obviously inferior
endeaver.
I should have just gone straight to them.
I wonder if thier stage 4 really revs to the 9000RPM you would need to
spin to make
161 BHP.
Either that, or thier version of "HP" stands for "Hare" power.

Ok, so you are salivating now. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Also, you have to question some of the information. For instance, how
are they planning on making a Stage 4 Alpine engine using Strombergs?
