Now thats truly eerie (reference my earlier responce) I did NOT read 
THIS post before responding to the other one.. and I AM a controls 
programmer of 11 years.... and I DID catch the VSS - RAM thingy (see 
the earlier post) Wierd... I need a raise ;-)

Now that we're serious.. what we really need is 8 individual DP's 
around each intake valve... or 8 MAF's just after each intake 
valve... then an o2 at each exhaust port, an electrically actuated 
valve setup (a shutter rather than a coil moving a valve stem mass) 
so we can alter the "lift and duration" using the ECM, then we need a 
muffler that will vary its interrior space as RPM changes.. so as not 
to resonate at any one frequency, and further to send the sound back 
at a frequency that assists the evacuation of the exhaust gasses at 
ALL  RPM's.  then we need intake runners that 
alter their interrior areas so that we get good intake velocity at 
low rpm and great intake volume at higher RPM's , then we need an 
ultra-pressurized 12:1 A/F mixture injection system that pre-mixes 
and squirts the mix into the cyllinders just as the primary flame 
front is finishing its burn, so theres a secondary burst.. 
effectively making an 8 cyllinder engine into a 16 cyllinder 
engine, using fast burning fuel.

and somehow work in a gyro-mass to store braking energy for the next 
launch. 

or we can all get carbs and T-87's and shut up...  naaah  ;-)

Someone print this for bruce.. ha ha ha.. I went a little crazy 
sorry... there go 10% of  all my future patents. oh well. ;-)
