Okay... 102 rpm. That seems slow. But think about it... that's 1 1/2 rotations per second, and can you imagine those pistons (and the rods that are in the pictures) moving at 1 1/2 rotations per second? THEY'RE ------- HUGE; that would be scarey as hell. Plus anything that makes 5 million food pounds of torque is okay with me, repost or not
