Why do you have capitalized letters in the middle of your name?

Is the grass really greener on the other side?

Most often it is because it is a question that doesn't even belong on the poweradder board at all. Questions like "what distributor should I use on my mostly stock 5.0 carbed engine?" should be asked and would be answered on the general engine tech board. "will I gain 75 horsepower from putting a K&N filter on my lb9 TPI engine?" would be better asked on the TPI board.
It would seem that many people just don't ask their questions on the right board.
Maybe they don't even know what the definition of "power adder" (ie nitrous, turbo or supercharger) is.


Sometimes the questions are just so generic and without detail that there is no answer that would really be accurate, like "Will my engine blow up if I use nitrous?". Maybe Miss Cleo can help with that one!


Sometimes the questions are so esoteric that there just are not that many people that know the answer, like "How much does the forward bearing from the shaft of an ATI D3M weigh?"


Or, if it's the same question that gets asked six times a week and all the newest person to ask has to do to find his answer is to scroll down the page a few inches or use the search function on theses boards to find his question asked & answered perhaps dozons or even hundreds of times.
