Very Interesting.
Last year Jeff, Darren and myself did a tour of CP/Carrillo ( Pankl)
Absolutely Amazing technology.

OK..... Let's see, 8 F1 pistons or 57.7 house payments?.

Can I have time to think it over?

Times up, no F1 pistons under the Christmas tree this year. So sad, but I'm happy for Larry.

Merry Christmas Barry and Larry!

My bad, it seems that I needed a math lesson.

The F1 pistons are actually $65,000 EACH. So 8 pistons would cost $520,000, or in relationship to my house payment (at $1,500 each) it would be 346.6 months of payments, or simply 28.8 years.

I need a sponsor to cover that $520,000 purchase (each year).

Close to, or slightly over 5 HP per c.i., for several hours, spread over several sessions, and you only get to have 5 (?) units per season. Oh yeah, only a certain amount of fuel to get it done with.
