BTW man, when you shipped those housings, did you buy the signiture verification as well? Need to know if I need to be home when they arrive. Thanks bud.

Yeah, if you're competing and need every advantage regardless of cost, then sure. You gotta pay to play. Fine, but for a street car? I can't see the expense.

Yeah, I bought everything, always do, sig veri, ins, tracking..

As you notice the elogation percentage is extremely low when dealing with the elastic deformation portion of the curve. These of course are in the tensile strength directions and for our purposes we would need to see the compressive strength readings and deformations. This however would appear to be valuable data as ceramics usually have much higher numbers when comparing their compressive strength (stress/strain) and their tensile strength (Much on the orders of magnitude).

So the english translation is they're stronger

But seriously, are we talking 10% stronger when detonated, 50% 100%?
