Good find dood.

"The block is a particularly strong design with a single piece main bearing cap, and is capable of reliably supporting more than 1000hp."

The mind wanders hehe

On the right side of the home page you can go to their archieves for other months and years. They have articles on all sorts of things including some most people probably never heard of like indexing sparkplugs, where you install the sparkplug so the gap between the center electrode and ground electrode faces the intake valve. You add very thin washers if necessary and count turns and partial turns when installing the plug so the gap ends up facing the intake valve when tight, supposedly gives better combustion. Also mentions radioactive polonium tipped plugs that are supposed to ionize the fuel air mixture, making for better combustion. Also has an article how to remove the MAF sensor and tune the engine without it, and another article on the importance of balancing an engine that has had anything internal done to it.
