Things I learned today…
-The Super D isn’t as slow as I thought it was.
-Superchargers whistle because of the way the air is compressed by the screws and released in small bursts. Apparently a rapid succession of bursts of compressed air sounds like a whistle or a whine.
-They have a new bearing out for turbos that will eliminate the need for using your car’s oil supply. It’s called a “foil bearing,” and apparently the turbo shaft is supported by a sort of bump bearing until a certain revolution speed is reached where the shaft lifts away from the bumps and is suspended in the working fluid (usually air) having no contact with the housing. How cool is that?

- Yup. Unless you've got a centrifugal supercharger. There's a great book called Turbocharging, Supercharging, and Nitrous Oxide (or something like that) thats got TONS of info about how superchargers work, etc. for anyone who wanted to learn more.
- That is rediculously cool.

I learned that people are so rude if you dont give them what they want, but when you come back and do give it to them, they are like night and day...I work in a hotel so I like to experiment on people just to see how they react on purpose.

I would assume. It will obviously run much cooler which it would seem would increase efficiency too.

I learned there are four rules to life;
1. It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.
2. It is better to be blown than blown up.
3. It is better to be beat off than beat on.
4. Never eat yellow snow.
