Cool Too Be or not to be exotic metal thats the Q:

Q:: If you had a custom shop filled with all the bells and whistles and could access a long line of metal to forge the perfect engine what would you use.
Titanium, Aluminum, Cobalt, Stainless Steel, etc... and the list goes on guys
ex. (Joe Snuffy) Titanium Engine block because it doesnt get as hot as fast as Aluminum or Stainless.
ex. (John Doe) Stainless Pistons although weight more than aluminum wouldnt tarnish as fast as aluminum.

hahahaha...umm.. nooooo LOL there was some link posted to a rice burner page and someone put 25lbs thru the car.. then they said it started running rough... that was followed by about 35 pages of freakin funny responses! everything from putting 25lbs in the oil to moff set the effects... to putting more sand thru because 25lbs wasn't enough! I laughed for a good long time reading the responses!
