We used those a Compaq back in the day, not a Honda product - not nearly as fast.

Speaking of which, I never understood the rationale some had (or didn't have) about taking the chance of having a coffee can sized piston blowing upwards (aimed right at their crotch and chin areas, just to "make more power"?! Maybe it's just me, but, dayum, that's pretty dumb!!!!!!!

I once computed the piston speed on a VTX1800 at redline; it was approximately the same as a CBR600 at 12k, if I remember correctly. And several times the reciprocating mass!

Talk to Bog Dog, I recall him saying, that he more than once pushed it too far, playing with that turbo.

You worked for Compaq?  Did you come from DEC?  Did you make it to the "merger" with HP?
