- My, it has been a while, hasn't it? Exhaust manifold pressure is
- pretty spurious unless you know the PV=<something> formula and have
- the constants etched in your frontal lobes. Exhaust manifold
- *temperature* is much more interesting.
-
- Reminds me of the guy in the 30 year old Porsche Roadster at PIR,
- commenting that in the third lap of his race, he noticed the manifold
- temp on #3 had gone to 0. He finished the race on three cylinders.
- The amazing part is he *won* and beat JZ by two laps. Mefford and
- Munroe are witnesses.
