Sharks in Dyckesville - has a nice ring to it.
I think I'd rather go to Pussyland or Tittsburgh, but if you like it in Dicksville... well to each their own.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. What's the true "back to stock" to appease the smog ****'s time for the turbo as opposed to the S/C??

No.... They're really good. They are exactly what their name says. It's the curd just before the cheese is pressed into the molds. They are random shapes about the size of a quarter. Very mild cheese, and perhaps a bit on the salty side. Very good with beer and other snacks. If you go to the Minnesota State Fair, you can get them fried... MMmmmmm fried cheese....

After visiting SoCal for the first time last December (then again in February) not sure if the digestive system of the average Cali body could handle these.
I only eat the deep fried kind

Three places my parents own just south of their house - between them and the DyckesVille Bowl:

Use both SC and turbos to solve the issue.
Lower your compression to 7-1 by using S3 pistons in your S4 -and have twin turbos blowing through an intercooled twin screw supercharger with racing gas in your tank. Go from zero to transmission obliteration in 0.87 seconds. But for that fraction of a second, you'll be cranking out around 800 hp. And you could lucky and your torque tube take the hit instead of the tranny. Though then parked, it'd still look really cool under the hood.

I dunno, 6+ liters with 15-20 psi the 928 drivetrain is able to handle. Todd drives his car to work every day. He has a bigger motor in the works, should be interesting.

I wish it was that much fun when I was there. 3am with the engine cover off the Van turning the distributor back and forth to "see what it does". Dana's parents had already sold the bowling alley at that point. His nice 4 car garage was perfect for late night wrenching for no particular reason.

Yes, he does. It should be very interesting. He has my 32V heads right now to fix Fed-ex's damage. When I get them back, the 89 engine starts to go together.
