Its advanced a bit - I think 4 degrees.

Some of the younger builders like Bob Madera and Alexi seem to have even sweeter combos that make even more HP, but I don't know if id get 10 years out of them or what more I would have paid upfront.

Dick was a treasure trove of info but was as hard headed as a mule and rightfully so.
