Ti, understood, and I agree with your below assessment, i think we both agree
that the middle ground you present below is more that "that one term" that I
won't belabor again ;)

So..

Have you ever been to a party, or at work, and you just got back from a
really cool trip from Maui, and you're telling your co-worker or friend about it -
"Ya, we went snorkeling, and I saw a shark, it was like 4' long, and it swam
like 10 feet from me, I was thrilled!"

Your Co-worker, before you can barely get your sentence out, begins - "about
how his friend in high school's uncle once went diving in the Great Barrier
Reef, and a 40', maybe bigger, Great While Shark savagely attacked him, yet even
thigh deep in shark teeth his uncle was bravely able to scoop the shark's
eyes out of its cartilage scull with his divers knife, and escape the saws of
iminent death."

Well, that's kinda how I feel when my 13.2 prompts stories of 11 and even 10
second cars ;)

But, I will say that in the last couple of years the promise of 10v power has
become much easier, with a good management system to run it all, hp levels
will be climbing, I'm nary close to being finished with even this stock 10v long
block, stay tuned for more tinkering in the near future.
