Software became one of the major defining problems of the system. There were no specs..we made it up. The software engineers were free to write almost anything they liked (at least at first). There were no specs, we made it up, and it's always amazing to me, why was I allowed to program something that hadn't even been specified that would be critical in assuring the success of the whole Apollo program? I couldn't believe it, but that's the way it was -- we made it up as we went along.

Considering the added performance of the new supercharger, I'm gonna have a dash plaque made:

SO what kind of power is she producing John?

Won't know until tomorrow or Friday, but I'm expecting 540-560 at the wheels, at around 575 lbft of torque.

So about 100 horse per liter? (Dont know CUs! )
Thats a torquey motor, I would have thought more power less torque given the way the cams sound.

Torque is more the result of stroke length than CID. HP is based more on CID.
It's a 7 liter motor (427 CID), 1.3HP per cubic inch, or 80hp per liter.

CID?
Cams have a huge effect on torque and power John. A big overlap long duration cam will produce an engine that cant pull away below 3k, I know, I had 300's in one years back. (Mind you it used to rev its nuts off, 9000 rpm was often reached)
I read an interesting article (and this apples to twin cam engines) about how you can change the angles between the inlet and outlet. If its tighter, you get more peak power in a narrower range, if its wider, a bigger power spread but less peak power. Never knew that at the time.
80 a liter sounds about right for naturally aspirated engine, I would have thought nearer 100 for a blown one though.
She looks great though John, good job!

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Apologies for not knowing which forum this belongs in.
I need to be pointed to the proper place for updating it (actually the PHP part), but I don't seem to be able to google my way to it, their forum/wiki was rather barren (via sourceforge). I'm talking about methodology for updating.
Current option is to back up all of the website's data and add-ons, install newest version of Vertigo, and then paste back what ought to be pasted back in. I'd really like to just pop a new version of php in and get on with life.
[edit]I am currently at php ver. 5.3.8 - which is from August 2011[/edit]

Can't say I have man. I've been using PHP so long, I'm just used to installing it manually.
I will say that (out of the box, things can be tweaked) you'll find PHP runs quicker on Linux. Not sure if you have a specific reason to use Windows, unless it's just meant to ease the transition into it... then rock and roll man. If you can tweak Windows policies like a ninja, you'll be just fine running it in Windows. YMMV
Oh, also... for the Windows version only... make sure you use the latest version of PHP possible to ensure you have 64-bit integer support.
