<<Again, If you want to see the total potental of ram, hold a book out ,
measure the approx force at any speed,  divide by the square inch area .  
(ie at 100 mph ,the force is about 50 lbs, and that divide by my 9x11 book
is  less than .25 psi!!!!!!)>>

uh, i'm not sure how much math has changed since i left school (3 years ago)
but the way i calculate it 50lbs\(9x11)in^2=.505PSI.  hmmm, maybe the book
was open.

also, regarding the DOHC/SOHC stuff, most current chrysler multivalve
engines are SOHC.  of couse they are also "V" designs (6 cyl) thus
necessitating one camshaft/cylinder bank.  also of note, the lincoln V-8 is
toted as a "quad cam", i would assume that this means 2 camshafts/bank, or 1
for each set of exhaust/intake valves.  i have some info on this somewhere
and if i can find it i will post any interesting findings.
