• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I just ordered one of those for my mini-van. Luckily, NAPA had them on sale, so I was able to squeeze it into my budget.

Those things are monsters. Just by way of comparison, The RR Trent, the big Trent, pulls some thing on the order of 100,000 hp to run its compressor, the residual thrust is used for incidental purposes- lofting the triple7. Its all relative. The bit about those BIG diesels that amazes me is that they turn so slowly that alot of pretty heavy maintenance can be done on 'em while they're running.
