Go fast guys are complaining that they could reach their terminal velocity if they could get the e-tec to turn some more RPM.. Monty being the main man that has taken the e-tec to the next level. (see 130 MPH STV on the Suwannee)
I like that they are trying to develop something NEW.. Because they keep new products coming to market they will eventually make something I need.. Remember it cost dollars cubed to develop and test new product, I will give them chops for that...

I do so enjoy writing here. I only wish I could see Denny shaking his head whilst reading.
I`d like to see a cut away of the exhaust and the rave valve. I understand it is a gate valve which expands/ opens the exhaust as rpms climb. Note the first funny bump in torque.
It looks like they let me design the graph format re numbers.
So if the lower is 1.85, it looks like 570 ft lbs at 3,170.
600 ft lbs at 3,900 if I guessed well on my homework assignment.
Right where you need it!
Also note it holds 270 hp to 6k rpm.
Now you know why I chose yellow for the Merc curves...
