Hey Guy's help me out here, So, What yall are saying is that when new products come out there will be no improvement in performance and efficiency because it wasn't available 24 years ago for them to evaluate when they designed the car / engine. Then all the claims that Bosch, MSD, Mallory, K & N not counting all the other the 100's of companies that have the engineering money are wrong. For example, Bosch in the platinum + 4 plugs. They have poured Millions into design and research and state the +4 is the Best plug. MSD again have poured millions and have developed a multi million dollar industry in improved ignition performance products. And K & N took 50 year old technology and improved the air filter from being big and bulky to compact and spray on the oil. Maybe if spray oil was invented 50 years ago the old oil bath filter would have never been made. If what your are saying is true, then why are engineering departments all over the world trying to build a better mouse trap and always trying to improve the existing ones. Sorry, I don't understand: I just know That if you keep on doing what your doing then you keep on getting what you got.

It's kinda funny that a bunch of experienced engineers with a large amount of resources available to them can deliver a better design than a novice. -- Mike -------------- Original message from wingd2@xxxxxxx: -------------- > > > Mike, > > I agree with you on this.
