Thanks Phil, I need to read the 2nd half later becuase it's time to do some work on the FC if I wanna hit Limerock on Thurs but mainly becuase it's just what you said it is, a rant. There's a whole lotta theory in there and too much quessing and not enough actually testing. It seems from the few threads that I've read of his he does his testing by pulling apart engines that he's popped and trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

I will say that after reading the first half of his rant that he has a few hundred bucks worth of sensors to install on his engine. Not to mention wtf is going on with getting a 45*f drop in AIT's by moving an air filter outside the engine bay? Sounds like his intercooler sucks balls. For fucks sake I can watch my pre-intercooler charge temps go from 70*F to 260*F while my AIT's will go from 70*F - 77*... while on the DYNO..... think about that.. My cruising AIT's are withen a few *'s of ambient. I mean really?!?! We actually made a few pulls back to back without the fan going and the only tipoff we got was my e-fan turned on becuase it usually doesn't.

While I like the potential of reducing AIT's that both water and alky have, I personally feel that on a street car, they're band-aids for improperly designed heat exchanger systems for oil, water, and ait systems. I designed my car from the grnd up to run cool, it actually runs too cold in the water and oil dept's for my liking. I MAY run alky on the FD just to bring the EGT's down becuase of the turbo I'm planning on using but that's only after a lengthy discussion with a few engineers.

So, enough of my rant, but I will add that band-aids peel over time.....

I've heard he builds shitty engines But that's what I hear...

I know of a ton of his engines that have popped but I've never disassembled any of them to be able to tell you how they are. I can give the names of a few to stay FAR FAR away from though. I'll tell you what his ports look like in a few weeks though.
