Re: [DMCForum] Re: Full Circle To Andrew's Knocking

["Jim Strickland" <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

I think he's overly retarded.  Just to be contrary.  

I think I am going to start some ridiculous rumor and see how many people
I can dick up for a lifetime.  

Did everyone know that increasing compression ratio lowers horsepower? 
Yep, that's right.

I'm glad my D had the 8.5:1, because it makes so much more HP than the
11:1.  it's true.
