Already been over this. There were no other engineers (that I'm aware) of who were participating in THIS THREAD at the time.

Yes you can with a fast track to citizenship. I don't know how old you are but I'm guessing your in your thirties and that would exempt you, but you could have earlier ie 20's.
Cheers,

Actually age wise he's good to go to 37 for active duty and 40 for reserves. Just be sure to stock up on geritol :rofl:

You say that now, but when you are trying keeping up with 17-18 year olds you might end up needing it trust me.

I am sure that the engine management system will make some accomodation that will allow some performance differance to be felt (maybe), you could also, most likely, run something less that 87 octane too. The question you need to ask yourself is why? Why spend extra dollars too make a heavy unaerodynamic TRUCK feel peppy? Get a sports car if you want to go fast... I have been here since 2001 and have seen this question hundreds of times. Making a Disco go fast is like trying to teach a pig how to dance....:rofl:

I agree to a point, but when I was at Ft Bragg there were quite a few mid thirties and early forties guys who could make a 19 year old puke trying to keep up with him on the PT field...

I enter noob level mountain bike races for shits and giggles, and trust me, I know this; I know I was far more agile and recovered faster from both strain as well as sprains when I was half my age.
I cant pass most 17 year olds on the climbs, and thats okay. I still hold my own just fine tho..I got years of skills and experience on them...

Now I get it. I need to have a built truck to have experience and know what I'm talking about.
I'd say my trucks are pretty lame according to most peoples standards on this board.
You need to step down a bit and take a look around. You're throwing windmills in the air hoping you'll hit someone. Nothing yet. You don't know NEARLY as much as you think and you are starting to sound like those dumb rednecks I see at the gas station that come up to me on a weekly basis and try to talk shop/off roading with me.
I smile and am thankful I don't have to drive around proving myself wherever I go.

Nah thats not what I said, but if all your experience is in the OEM 'lab' and with stock rigs, and you think running 100 octane makes any sort of sense in a rover(unless its supercharged etc)..
I may call you on being a trail poser
...and I dont mean you Garrett, but it makes me less likely to take advice from said poster, however much general auto experience he has..ford fuckus hood time doesn't count...

Yes but those guys at Bragg had been doing the job for some time, I'm talking straight off the street at BCT

Just mentioning it because it is a fast track to citizenship. It is merely an option that many have utilized. There are folks from many many nationalities in the military. Just after 911 the admin changed the rules to better enable folks that serve the nation the oportunity to become US citizens without all the red tape.
Cheers,
