I spent several hours at Seven Stock 8 just looking for a Yellow 8 with the hood up so that I could see the s/c. I reconginize the table area so I know RP was there. I sure wanted to see his creation. I must have missed the post where he was going to be incognito during the event. Oh well I'm sure my questions would have been redundent.

As with any ho po installation the A/F is the most important thing to monitor.
The exhaust temp is not as important with a SC as with a turbo. I use one in the development process but it's just for that. If your a real geek about it then intake man pressure and temp are nice things to tune with. An aircraft gauge that has two needles for outside temp and man temp is fun.
But really when everything is set up you don't need anything, it should be a forgotten accesory. Only if your in constant development do you need tools like this.
In all a MAP gauge is all you need. Manifold absolut pressure along with the A/F is more then enough. If your trying to find a problem temporary gauges can be used.
BTW, when I drove FanMans car I noticed that the pillar gauges were useless unless you made a specific movement to look at them. It requires refocusing of the eyes to read them. This is of no use in high speed driving.
If you want it for style then go ahead and put in a full aircraft cockpit. Just remember to look up once in awhile.

8 days since a post. Almost on the second page! Blasphemy!
I think my curiosity was quenched a little at SS8 when I got to hold it and spin it. but 8 days has been too much.. Need a fix in the form of some news or at least a little friendly banter :D

Wow! Just finished reading 168 pages . . . my brain hurts now... Some of the things I've learned:
1) A ton of trivia all kinds of aircraft ...
2) That dogs gone missing under mysterious conditions (cable cutting?) really had me worried/concerned/ticked off (Yay! Torque's back!!)
3) That the boats hull was made from aluminum...
4) Axial Flow ROCKS
5) Richards favorite car color is yellow
6) Drag racing is the Fred Flinstone of motorsports (hehe - loved that one :-) )
7) That I really want this product to be a success . . . (more updates please! :-) )
And of course the one thing that is burned into memory forever . . . They weren't Jeans - they were Chaps!!! HueYa!
/off-topic/
this may be of some interest to the aero-dudes out there - a starter turbine Bradley GT link I ran accross few years back . . . http://home.mchsi.com/~siliconsurfer1/index.html
No clue how realistic it is, but it was kinda fun to check out...
/exit off-topic/
By the way I think I must of dozed off somewhere - Richard, did your rx8 engine problem ever get fixed? Was GD right on the Money as expected?? did you just put the engine on the back burner for now while your work with the used one??? What happened???? (this must be what it feels like to be stuck on a soap opera...)
Great Job Richard!! and to everyone who has been encouraging and helping along the way!!! (hymee, ajax, GD, the guitar dude, omicron etc. etc. etc.)
