FYI, don't ever try to get an iron T-post out of the ground by pulling on it
really hard. They can snap, causing a blood fountain to come out of your head,
followed by a 7.5 hour trip to the ER and 10 staples in your head.
Pretty much ruined my weekend.

P.S. The most soothing part (aside from ice chips when I nearly fainted) was
the sound of the turbo charger spooling up on the Powerchoke engine of the
ambulance. The driver noticed my cars and a lively conversation ensued on the
greatness of old diesel Benzes.

I would guess the effect of reducing the exhaust restrictioin depends upon
the amount of valve opening overlap and the extent of the exhaust
scavenging provided by the turbo. Any idea how much they are?
