Message: [QUOTE="JRLott, post: 1468654, member: 19991"] Without demand, the regs would have been the death of the oil burners. Demand and competition is why the 12 valve is no longer a viable commodity as a new truck engine. The market ended its viability long before emissions came into the picture. Demand and competition drove the three to increase HP and torque in the chase for #1. Smoke is the reason for the regs. The market would have eventually demanded less smoke and efficiency. I did say before, regs may have forced the changes sooner, but the changes would have come. More efficient burn, less smoke, more power are all present regardless of whether Thor's cock is clogging up the exhaust. Anyway, back to the discussion. The free market discussion is irrelevant since regs skewed the path...one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
