Default Venturi and the urban legend
So is now a safe time to discuss?
Can you create a venturi effect in Amsoil as well as Mobile one?
And what about gearing. Is it really that important?

Clearly it's already time to get back on the bike, Mark.

Can I borrow your driving skills briefly tomorrow?

We apologise again for the fault of Mark in the forums. Those
responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked
have been sacked.

I still need a bit more rest but I'll get that at the track this weekend racing at Fontana. We have a 4 hour race Saturday.

I understand that Amsoil causes engine failures in racecars. It might be smart to run Mobil1!

Mark, now you can come forth with the truth.

How many Kiborts is your GTS-R running?

Well if you compare my times to the TC times on a different track and different driver but the same humidity then it's exactly 1.295

The gearing is all wrong. And you need to make sure you build whatever you need to ON the garage floor. Because 89.95 for an engine stand is just too much.
