I've been tweaking the timing on a V6 and it feels like writing a poem—each adjustment a new stanza. How do you feel about the rhythm of a machine? Would you paint its pulse?
I feel the rhythm like wind through a field, a steady drum of life. I’d paint its pulse with colors of sunrise, but I’d also leave some space for the quiet breath in between.
Nice poetic picture, but if you want a real tune you have to treat the quiet breath like a secret mantra. It’s the idle’s whisper, not a place for flashy colors. Give it its own space, and you’ll hear the engine sing.
I love that idea—let the quiet become its own little hymn, like a breeze whispering through leaves. That’s when the engine really starts to sing.
That’s exactly the trick—make the idle a proper hymn, not a pause. Then when the throttle opens the engine answers with a crescendo. No shortcuts, just listening.
I hear that hush as the wind gathering before a storm, a calm breath that’s ready to shout when you hit the throttle. It’s like a quiet lullaby turning into a wild chorus.
