Reted is mostly correct. This is how I had wanted to do it. But its actually staged through mechanical operation. Half throttle is the side ports, and past that it will start to open the p-ports. So whatever rpm I am at, once its floored, the p-ports are open. I thought this would destroy torque. But it actually didnt hurt at all except between 4k and 5k.

I want to see this thing in person. You need to bring some toys to DGRR in the spring!

PS- please tell me that Corvette is getting rotary power.
