Thread: updated CMC rules

    Excellent analysis of the Whistler, Richard. The only thing I would add is that the use of an engine displacement pump would accurately measure the displacement of the engine so that variable is not left up to chance. I beleive that tech at Nationals has access to one and it should SOP to use both when testing CR.
