    Trafik Jamz;327057 wrote: actually they equal less bang as they burn colder... but they do mean cooler temps in the combustion chamber which means more fuel and oxygen can be added to make more power. Because it is harder to ignite (making it more resistant to knock ie higher octane) you can adjust your timing to be a bit more aggressive as well. A+ for taking the time to explain it properly. I was just feeling a bit lazy.

    A phone line has been cut somewhere near the track and our phone/internet services are down. This means we cannot process credit cards and unfortunately we will have to be cash only for Saturday. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

    Like Dave said, and Doctor can do a NHRA physical, It's pretty much a standard physical. I personally (and know a few others) go to that 7-Day clinic and have it done. But call ahead and make sure a Dr. is actually there. Alot of times they have PA's there and say they can do it but if a PA signs the physical it will get sent back to you.

Iv messed around with a tig before, and can lay a pretty decent bead, but this just blows me away. He uses a method called "Walking the cup". Its a method a lot of very experienced welders use to get consistency in welds. they actually rest the gas lense on the metal they are welding.
