You snipped that wrong.

It's not the hemi that is the trouble, it's the ignition that makes it
run on only 4 cylinders. Hence my reference to the failed GM 8, 6, 4
engine.

Ask you buddy if his hemi runs on 4 cylinders or not.

Hi John,
I was just making excuses for Americans that have no idea how big
engines run. This Hemi is a throw back of the heavy metal muscle cars of
the fifties. In considering the weight that makes these "new" vibrations
the poster can't understand, are the physical energies of centrifugal,
kinetic, and inertia, that can make a three ounce weight, out of place
on a tire, will lift the weight of that corner of that car off the
ground.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
