Looks like he's got a dyno board on his forum; I hope he collects all the data from the engines that he's dynoed over the past few years and puts them up there.  That would be a great source of information...

Hmmmm, who is that moderator, anyway?   ;D  I have to say though that I really don't understand the need for a photo section, when you can post photos anyplace on this site.  What would you post in the photo section that you wouldn't post somewhere else here?  (I did get one good answer to that question, but a "cars and girls" thread would probably spiral out of control LOL!)

I also just noticed the war room for posting, nasty posts welcome I think he might have gotten booted somewhere just a guess.

Barry, no he didn't get booted from the other forum. There was some general comments made about opening the other forum up for more discussion and more pages, but the owner and mods weren't going for it and deleted the threads. It sounded like a "if you don't like it, start your own" type of thing. Looks like someone did.

The structure just seems kinda like a a bomb ready for a light. The whole this section is offensive in content is not for me that's for sure. I treat others like I want to be treated, with respect and compassion.

Its really just kinda "parked" out there right now with minimal promotion.  I simply wanted to have a forum ready in case the network 54 thing got out of hand.  Seems like it goes from being very functional to being kinda weird - and I cannot risk losing the communication venue.  Having a minimally involved owner is both helpful at times and troublesome at other times.  I still expect to primarily post over there, and participate frequently here.  Consider it "Plan C"...

The anything goes area is "lightly moderated" as noted in the rules.  Just gives an area for people to do their thing without clogging up technical aspects.  I am not interested in being the next "Yellowbullet", but if you want to avoid reading arguments and bad language it becomes a place you can simply not click into.  Anything I find in other places that I find potentially offensive - like Chevy pictures - will simply get tossed into that basket.

I will tweak it and tune it as I go.  But please keep expectations modest.  Time is an issue for me right now....

I think it's a great idea.
The more information the better.
One can never read to much.
Now to get my granddaughter to think like that. That's the tough one.
Count me in Barry.
