==========================

I guess what we are listening to is a smallish displacement mixed with 10k rpm's and a decent exhaust?

Is this kind of thinking headed in a possibly correct direction, in a very over simplified way?

Thanks,

==================================

I can see why someone might think that since what you hear is, "Po-Ta-To, Po-Ta-To, Po-Ta-To". :D

It does sound desirable enough that other manufacturers have tried to copy the sound of the Harley, and from what I understand they have (Or at least Tried) to Patent/Copy-write/Trademark the sound.

I know it's not all 3, but they have legally pursued protecting "Their" sound.

============================

Vince:

I would think it would require more than this as I have heard high and low compression dragsters and they both sounded like crap. Fast crap, yes, but crap all the same.

Firing order I don't think would have that profound a difference in the sound unless you simply switched two plug wires.;)

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Ty

Damn that sounds great, Reminds me of Bonneville.

What kind of 6 cylinder did you say he was running? ;)

===============================

I can understand that.

Also sounds a bit like a Motorcycle. (This is good!)

Is it a 3.0?

Yes, that does sound great, but what IS the cause other than spinning it up to 10k and adding a big turbo to it? (along with a few other choice pieces)

=========================

I wasn't able to tell much about it other than a turbo and a nice sound. Can you tell me what I was listening to?

Thanks,

Forward it to the 5 min 10 sec mark.


=============================

Any idea the hp and torq of that engine? I like the ITB's.

Thanks,

F1 is ALWAYS killer!

I'd love to have that sound in a affordable reliable package.
