alternative engines, WARPED

[Todd....!!]

I hear ya Fred...

You've converted me to a low rpm man...

However, the low rpm only applies when boostin the engine, not in
naturally aspirated cars....

And MOST people don't know how to turbo or supercharge an engine, nor
can most afford to do so...

Therefore ya either wind er up or sit on the sidelines after your first
run after you're ELIMINATED, ya know?

That's all I was speakin about, you and I are some of the FEW who even
CONSIDER much less actually APPLY the boost to BB Mopes or any other
engien for that matter...  Ya know?

LATER TATER!
