Yes, that’s the beauty of a V-8. Also, 1500 rpm @ cruise would be in OD mode. =

Rechecking my math again… =

V-8 LS1 = Engine

Cruise rpm – = 1500

Each cyl fires once/2 rev =3D 750 = firings/minute

750 Divided by 60 sec =3D 12.5 firings/second

12.5 divided by 8 cyl =3D 1.56 firings/coil/sec

Rotary = Engine

Cruise =3D 6000 = rpm

Each rotor fires once/rev =3D 6000 firings/rotor/minute

6000 divided by 60 sec =3D 100 firings/second/rotor

Rusty, please check my math. = ;-)

That’s a big difference!!! =

Mark = S.

And do you really cruise down the highway at only = 1500 rpm?
