Considering the added performance of the new supercharger, I'm gonna have a dash plaque made:

SO what kind of power is she producing John?

Won't know until tomorrow or Friday, but I'm expecting 540-560 at the wheels, at around 575 lbft of torque.

So about 100 horse per liter? (Dont know CUs!  )
Thats a torquey motor, I would have thought more power less torque given the way the cams sound.

Torque is more the result of stroke length than CID. HP is based more on CID.
It's a 7 liter motor (427 CID), 1.3HP per cubic inch, or 80hp per liter.

CID?
Cams have a huge effect on torque and power John. A big overlap long duration cam will produce an engine that cant pull away below 3k, I know, I had 300's in one years back. (Mind you it used to rev its nuts off, 9000 rpm was often reached)
I read an interesting article (and this apples to twin cam engines) about how you can change the angles between the inlet and outlet. If its tighter, you get more peak power in a narrower range, if its wider, a bigger power spread but less peak power. Never knew that at the time.
80 a liter sounds about right for naturally aspirated engine, I would have thought nearer 100 for a blown one though.
She looks great though John, good job!

Apologies for not knowing which forum this belongs in.
I need to be pointed to the proper place for updating it (actually the PHP part), but I don't seem to be able to google my way to it, their forum/wiki was rather barren (via sourceforge). I'm talking about methodology for updating.
Current option is to back up all of the website's data and add-ons, install newest version of Vertigo, and then paste back what ought to be pasted back in. I'd really like to just pop a new version of php in and get on with life.
[edit]I am currently at php ver. 5.3.8 - which is from August 2011[/edit]

Can't say I have man. I've been using PHP so long, I'm just used to installing it manually.
I will say that (out of the box, things can be tweaked) you'll find PHP runs quicker on Linux. Not sure if you have a specific reason to use Windows, unless it's just meant to ease the transition into it... then rock and roll man. If you can tweak Windows policies like a ninja, you'll be just fine running it in Windows. YMMV
Oh, also... for the Windows version only... make sure you use the latest version of PHP possible to ensure you have 64-bit integer support.

It's a Windows shop - so it's a Windows 2008R2 server. It runs quite well and it's quite impressive how real software (an entire LAMP setup) starts in a second or two).
There are some features that looked attractive in later versions of php.
Actually, you've given me an interesting idea. The current Vertrigo install is 32 bit (all they had at the time). I suppose I could install the 64-bit version - which, being contained in a different folder, etc., would co-exist. When I feel safe I can wipe the old one.
A two-for-one fix. Does this sound like it will work?

Well, I wasn't trying to turn it into a Windows vs Linux thing (although I do have my opinions on that ). Just saying, out of the box there's like quite a few more security policies, etc. that need to be tweaked on Windows to get PHP churning the best that can be - as compared to Linux.
W∴ Balboos wrote: It runs quite well and it's quite impressive how real software (an entire LAMP setup) starts in a second or two).
Totally. It's zippy. PHP that is. Gets even zippier with caching and bytecode compilation.
W∴ Balboos wrote: There are some features that looked attractive in later versions of php.
If you're used to C# then it's also essential to go with the latest. PHP is awesome, there's a function to do just about everything in the world. It's fast, platform independent. But it also has as a smaller dev team and took a bit of time implementing some of the design features C# has. So, going latest will help you out in that regards.
W∴ Balboos wrote: A two-for-one fix. Does this sound like it will work?
Yes, different versions of PHP can coexist. Also, even on IIS if you want... you'll need to run it as a FastCGI or CGI module though if you want to use two different versions of PHP on the same web server / site though, and of course make sure your environment variables and path point to the version you want to use by default on the command line.
