Thank you Keith. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer some of my questions. I would never expect you to answer those questions that would give away your secrets. I've been involved in some of the cyl. head technology that you have learned and are learning about and I understand your answers clearly. The concepts are decades old. The application is what is constantly changing and improving. When last I was fully involved , it was 1996 and CNC porting was new technology. I was working for one of only three companies that were doing it, and at the time, we purchased a Boston Digital with all the soft ware being designed in house by one of the two who pioneered the technology, one being Kenny Weld, anbd the other, Brian Semperbaum (sp?). The terms I used in my questions were daily work talk, and since then I have tried to keep my finger on the pulse of "what's new". I still have a good connection with most of those who I worked with and what they're doing. When I was doing my Cobra thing in 1998, the FE was still an "old engine" and I always wondered if someone would ever invest the time and money to bring it forward. I see they have. You addressed a number of areas that I knew were real stumbling points for the FE, especially push rod restriction, and valve train, knowing that overcoming those major issues was going to take exactly what you described. I'm glad you have accomplished what you have.

Thanks again for your time.
