In which way? Only thing I can see being "screwed up" is that the engine will probably be a little less responsive off idle from less compression until it gets some boost.

As for the VVT, i really don't understand. What is the question exactly in the relation to the pistons?

Nvm. Did some research. Just a little of my inner engine idiot slipping through. Thank you guys for the input on this. Just have to wait and see what it all looks like in a few months when people start trying some of this.

No. 1 AUD to .7224 USD.

Your way would mean our economy is doing TERRIBLE. We want the USD to be worth MORE than other currencies.

Think of it like this. If you had $100 US, went to Australia and exchanged it, would you rather get $72 AUD back, or $140? So right now, it's 1 AUD = .7224 USD.

JESUS CHRISTO. Thats the same fukinn thing. I said .71 aussie fag dollar to 1 USD, so the Aussie fag money is only worth 70% of ours. So, IM SAYING (Just like you are) THAT IF I HAD 1 USD, AND I WENT TO AUSTRALIA, ITD BE WORTH $1.40 AUD. I know we want it to be worth more and... THATS WHAT I SAID!!!! END OF CURRENCY DISCUSSION.

hehehe. just kidding bro. its just we are both saying the same thing and its frustrating. but since we are in apparent agreement, lets settle this in a good way.

Sorry man. I got all those acronyms twisted around.

Next time I'll make sure to a little better. Should have known better than to with a marine!

Me --> <-- Marine

Haha. I particularly like the last two lines. Except in Semper FU, as we call it (officially called Marine Corp Martial Arts, MCMA), we dont have to go for cheap nut shots. lol. we just take people down the good old fashioned way.

lol. but it is. just go to google, type in 'aud to usd', first result is the google exchange rate. and its accurate. during this lively currency discussion here, its changed a cent or two every time i look.
