    This episode is a chronicle from my formative years as an engineer and car guy. I went to engineering school at General Motors Institute from '80-85. My automotive engineering buddies and I devoured every story about the twin-turbo Trans Am project as they came out in Car & Driver. Mrs Orcutt's driveway sounded like paradise to us. And to top it off, Csaba Csere came to GMI and gave a lecture somewhere around that time.

    I think Chevy did a Flat Plane crank, because Ford Mustang did it, so it’s marketing. I say this because NASCAR cross plane cranks engines hit 9,000 plus rpm. Am I right? I love take in lot’s of air, then blow it out 😂

    Killing A Duramax is a single turbo. You may be referring to our Monster Truck engine, a supercharged twin-turbo Duramax. We'll be rolling that engine back into Dyno Cell No. 2 soon.

    LokJaw is being tuned right now (engine and trans). Killing a Duramax and Monster truck are on hold while dial in the AVL dyno.
