Shash: Some years ago, my friend who is a big, brawny American attended a meeting in Japan with a whole flock of engineers and the Chairman of Honda Corp. They were sitting in a hot, sweaty room in the evening talking about my friends computer modeling of motorcycles, when the Chairman, who was sitting a few chairs away, leaned over to my friend and asked (through an interpreter), "Why do Americans like Harley's so much?" My friend immediately responded, "Because when they are sitting at a red light and they twist the bike's throttle, it says, "Fk you." The interpreter sat there and looked shocked. My friend motioned to him, go on, go on, tell him. He haltingly began to translate (it took an inordinately long period of time). The chairman furrowed his brow for awhile and struggled to understand. Then, suddenly, he brightened up, looked at my friend and said, "Ahhh, yes, fk you!" as he nodded with a broad smile on his face. Several years later Honda started producing bikes that sound an awful lot like Harleys. -Sword

Shas, Your previous response was great. Thank You! Here's a hypothetical question from a novice engine guy (me)...........Using the stats from AENG's web page, the Chevy 350 engine seems to peak at around 3500 rpm, putting out 204 horsepower and 306 ft-lb torque. At 3000 rpm, the OX2 is expected to generate 229 HP and 401 ft-lb torque. For a moment, let's assume these figures are accurate. My question is.......If the OX2's HP and torque output continue to climb in a linear manner as the throttle is increased, what would the engine world think of the OX2 if the figures above were at 60% throttle? I don't know how wide the throttle is opened for these figures, but for this question, let's assume 60%. What would this mean? Also, what is the Break Specific range for most of today's internal combustion engines? Best of Luck, Greg
