Question Looking For Some Knowledge

I have always been a car enthusiast (especially with eclipses, talons and eagles) and i have never been happy with a "stock" car. But I, like everyone else, have asked my fair share of stupid questions and made plenty of bad calls. Obviously i am fairly new to A&F and I am looking to expand my knowledge, so if any of you are ever board or just want to bullshit, i would be extatic to learn. I know i could research most of it, but i think it would be easier to learn from people who have done it, or are in the process of doing it, so if anyone ever has time pm me or just post on this thread. Here are some examples, hopefully i didnt just make myself out to be a giant idiot...

-Stroking
-General knowledge most people overlook
-Where to start when rebuilding an engine
-Compression ratios
-Anything else that sounds interesting for you to explain, lol

Thanks!

Re: Looking For Some Knowledge

I have a thread somewhere about stroking (and yes Brian had a lot of knowledge on that subject) a month ago or so, talking about high revvin engines compared to stroked motors. There's a link to DSMTuners on there to an article/printout about stroking (mostly for the 4g63) but has A TON of info in it. It's at work hanging on my wall so I can read whenever.
