  1. Mid 90s blocks. He has several that he tinkers with; 2.4s, 2.5s, 260s, 280s,... They've been converted to EFI (MAD EFI/Brucato system). No direct injection. I tried doing a bit of Google research, but couldn't find much on it. Most stuff just seems to be people repeating what they've heard, rather it be factual or not, who knows. The ODBA guys have probably tried it (they've tried everything), but I highly doubt they post up much of their secrets, so who knows. Right now, he runs the highest pump gas he can find + octane booster + Stabil + oil, and it's still only in the high 90s on the octane rating. I think he could do better if he made the switch; it seems so much simpler to just throw in some 100+ octane and your oil, and be on your way, and cheaper to boot.
  2. I was talking to my father the other day about the fuel he runs in his Merc outboard and it got me thinking about what it would take for him to switch to corn. His setup now is wound pretty tight. His Merc outboard(s) are no where near stock, and are pretty much identical to what the pro guys run on their drag boats, so I'm convinced it would be of benefit to him. He's got the fuel system. He has the capability to tune whatever he wants. I can't think of a reason NOT to try it. What are the basics of running corn? Some things I have found: -Different stoichiometry; requires ~30% more fuel to achieve the desired A/F ratio. -Runs much cooler than gas (a great thing on a 2-stroke outboard which has a long history of melting pistons) -Can be hard/corrosive to different materials. What needs changed out to be compatible? His fuel system is about as basic as you can get, so any changes should be minimal. -Likes to absorb water. I don't think this is as big of an issue as people make it out to be considering people run it everyday in their road vehicles w/o a problem. -He premixes his oil into his fuel tank. Any issues with doing this with corn as opposed to gas?

  4. +1. My worked over Mil Spec triggers + $11 JPE spring kit + good lube = 3.5lb on the dot per my trigger pull gauge and are criiiiiisp. :fuckyeah:
  5. I recommend putting some grinding compound between the bolt and carrier. Really loosens things up a bit.
  6. I believe all new ones made have emissions criteria they have to meet. Most have an EGR (not sure of its official name) of sorts or a catalyst.
  7. Which still boggles my mind. People are generally pretty fucking retarded. 1. building your own gun is not illegal 2. A "plastic" gun, still has metal parts in it.
  8. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2593/3974228785_2fa65a697a.jpg And good luck on that long, point bullet feeding reliably.
  9. They are not really secured in any way, unless you count the gas tube running through them. They just sit against the back of the FSB and the handguard presses into it. It all locks up tight when you put the handguard on, though. FSB choice shouldn't matter, as far as I know.
  10. You can buy the cap separately thru midway or brownells pretty cheap. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/881062/dpms-handguard-cap-ar-15-750-inside-diameter-round-black Just be sure to get the proper ID for your bbl size.
  11. There's no registration on any part in Ohio, and most states for that matter. The only part with a serial # is the lower.
  12. I, for one, feel safer knowing DHS is out there keeping these movies off the innerwebz.
  13. It gives them something to talk about. If you've ever (unfortunately) had to watch an elderly person die in a hospital, their course of death is usually identical to this guys, only they usually aren't drugged out of their mind prior to them dying. You can see it on the monitors and how it all plays out (kind of neat [though sad] to watch, in a morbid sort of way...). And it's not exactly a quick process. It usually starts with their respirations slowing down, then they eventually start having pauses in their breathings, then their heart rate will start to drop, they'll gasp a few times, they'll go PEA (pulseless electrical activity), and then asystole. Even after asystole, they'll still make some funky movements with their mouth that could be construed as gasping. And people naturally die like this every single day, and nobody bitches about that. This fucking world.... :dumb:
  14. If it's made by Crye Precision, you probably don't want to know.
  15. 1. I'm not sure how they were negligent. This 'slow' death is to be expected. It might have looked brutal, but it wasn't. 2. That man was not tortured.
  16. The two meds given were Versed and Dilaudid. At work, we frequently give these two medications to people who are on a ventilator. And why do we do that? Because IT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD. Being on a vent sucks, so we give these to relax them and take away some of their pain. In high enough doses, these meds will knock out your respiratory drive and the vent does the breathing for them, you know, so they don't die. This man felt like a million bucks 10 seconds after they were in his system. He went to sleep, and that was it. He never knew or felt a thing. The meds cause respiratory arrest. Your body tries to compensate for a bit as best it can, but then the hypoxemia takes its toll, eventually causing cardiac arrest. The process is not exactly quick due to the body's compensatory mechanisms and the body will occasionally gasp, but the mind is unaware of the whole thing. If you've ever had surgery, you've probably been given some versed. Did you remember anything? No you did not. Every single person who gets this cocktail will die in the same exact manner, and NONE of them will be an instantaneous death. Drugs......unconscious.........respiratory arrest.................................gasp.........................................................................................gasp.......................................................................cardiac arrest. The old 3-drug combo used to consist of a sedative (sodium pentathal), followed by a paralytic (paralyzes everything, including the diaphragm), and then a massive dose of potassium chloride (caused immediate cardiac arrest). It seemed more humane because the inmate was paralyzed; they couldn't gasp even if they wanted to. They then went to a straight sodium pentathal, which produced the exact same results as the versed/dilaudid combo (respiratory arrest --> cardiac arrest), but I believe those hippies in France (where it was made) quit making it once they found out we were using it to kill people. The only people bitching about and criticizing the process are those with no medical knowledge to back it up. Ask any physician, and they'll tell you the same thing.
  17. Yet another company-wide email from our CEO: Thanks Obama :dumb: http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/30/Setsailforfail.jpg
  18. Vortex Viper PST would be my choice for semi-budget glass. Bushnell's tactical line isn't bad for starter glass, either. S&B, NightForce, USO, Hendsoldt, Steiner, Kahles, Swarovski, Zeiss, and Premier Reticles; all excellent glass. They are pricey as fuck though. For that range, and a first time rig, I'd probably go with the PST. Hit up Euro Optics when you're looking to buy and stay away from Optics Planet.
  19. Sounds like an opportunity for some sort of extortion to me. No wonder why most telecom companies fall into the top 10 most hated companies.
  20. See, I loooove the new GMCs. In contrast, I do not care for the Chevy variant. odd. http://img2.netcarshow.com/GMC-Sierra_2014_1024x768_wallpaper_01.jpg
