your college starts in October? Weird y0. Good luck however!! Just make sure to stay on top of things because it's hard to catch up if you get behind. yup, college starts here in October and ends in late July / early August ( i think )

gain question on RF 25 to LIFE amps...
gains are set depending on the pre-out voltage of the head unit. so, unless you have a dmm or an oscilloscope you will not be able to set the gains exactly. there is a gain setting tutorial over here. use that.

someone here told me i should heat it with the hot air gun because i should work in temperatures over 25deg Celsius. i'm going to try that too but i'm skeptical about it.

i tried to mix more resin today. turns out i almost finished the so-called hardener on less than a cup of resin and it's almost like i haven't used any. i need to take it back and see what the heck that guy sold me.

get me some food to plz, I'm hungry how does toast, butter, bacon and big glass of cocoa milk sound ? thats a very interesting choice in food. Cocoa milk? wtf Chocolate milk....doesn't translate the same as in Europe it is probably made from Dutch Cocoa instead of some stupid crap syrup that is mostly sugar that we use. you hit the nail on the head. there's one brand that beats them all. others are just plain crap.

fudge that. They just need to up their displacements accordingly with GM. It's big, it's heavy, it isn't super efficient, and it's super expensive to manufacture. The other problem is they just didn't keep to plans very well in the whole "mod" portion of it. Technologically it smokes the LS and Hemi's but nothing about it makes it easy to swap into another vehicle. Personally I think pushrods are a joke. It is big, compared to iron blocked-engines it's not heavy at all. Hell, the only real "heavy" mod motors are the DOHC engines, but of course, they have more material. Nothing is super-efficient from the factory, and I don't know how you consider 281 cubic inches pushing 300+HP and 300lb.FT. on pump gas and getting economy in the mid 20s not efficient. Contrary to what you may thing, Ford's modular engine family is the cheapest OHC engine family currently being produced. It's very easy to swap into other vehicles, but it's not a small-block chevy. Dammit, my battery is dying. It is way bigger than a 460 though and heavier. I know we had this conversation before, but everywhere I look has those things outweighing an old BBF. And they are so wide that retrofitting them into any old car with shock mounts isn't easy. As for the efficiency problem what I don't understand is why my crap Chevy gets 18.5mpg with more power than my buddies Ford who gets 15mpg. I also read that the build costs are more than the BM'er V8's which is nuts. I do believe the answer is modular as well as OHC but I think it needs a little reworking to get there. Personally I'd like to see it in rpm's and breathing and not cubes, but would love it if they did something. i've always wondered why the american automotive industry has produced so many engines with 2 valves/cylinder when most manufactures switched to 4.
