    Which supercar?

    Fontana track is a fun layout, good mix of straits and turns to get a feel for all aspects of a vehicles potential. I have owned Porsches and Ferrari's, driven a huracan and R8 and it really depends on the experience you are looking for. The GT3 is probably my favorite road course car, have...

    36 Spectre with Ilmors questions

    Hey Rob! I have been in a couple 36's and if memory serves me in calm water the hop is pretty bad between 70-85 MPH right as the boat is transitioning and starts to pack air. Mild power is going to take a little time to push through that speed. As with any big cat the rougher the water the less...

    Why Lake Havasu?

    Call Jeff Gove at The Idaho Club and tell him I sent you. He is the club Pro and resident real estate person onsite. He is a great guy and showed us all the lots that were available, he spent 2 full days with us before we bought. If you end up going our home is being built on lots F18 and F19...

    *** WHY PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM BOATS WITH OUT MERC POWER !!!

    Had no problem getting top dollar for my DCB with twin TCM 1250's. Boat would not have sold for any more, or any less , with Merc power of same rating. Actually thinking this through my boat with 75 hours on the motors would probably have sold for less with Merc power. Teague motors are rated...

    School Me on GT Performance Engines

    For what its worth I think that some of the issues that may have been experienced at GT is because Gary will take on truly custom/one off builds in both engines and rigging. That is not easy and carries with it risks. Not everyone wants a proven "package" and some want something unique and when...

    School Me on GT Performance Engines

    Ive gone and done something incredibly stupid.

    Thats not extreme. As long as the timing measurement is accurate then too much advance is likely ruled out as the driving force behind it running hot. That said, 195 is not too hot if thats as hot as it gets.

    Ive gone and done something incredibly stupid.

    How much total timing are you running?

    ICF construction advice

    Thanks everyone for the very useful input! Had a conf call with my architect and GC yesterday and we have decided to go with ICF construction on the home and shop/adu. Our GC has done many builds with ICF and is very comfortable with the challenges ICF creates, he uses Fox which appears to be...

    ICF construction advice

    Question, we are getting close to starting our build in No Idaho and we have the option to go traditional wood framing or ICF foam block/concrete. Our GC is fine either way and explained that ICF used to be more expensive but with lumber costs where they are it is actually a bit cheaper. I have...
