<VV> LM turbos and no lower shrouds

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Pretty quick -- might have to stack the deck and require carrying 
6000 lbs of bricks while racing :-)  Diesels, BTW for those not 
familiar, are the new performance machine.  You can easily massively 
improve performance with electronics and breathing alone.  They are 
odd beasts running more boost loping down the high way that a Corvair 
does at max, and pushing 40 lbs boost without changing the head 
studs.  When the crazies go there, look for nitro and 60 lbs boost 
and ... expensive fast stuff!  The new BMW diesel sedan is pretty 
quick ... a chip makes it very quick!  There are 1,000 hp STREET 
trucks out there ... E
