    This could beat the Porsche flat-6 if it was running at 100,000 RPM.

    Maybe if you took an audio clip of it doing whatever RPM they do (I don't know anything about these engines, what RPM do they actually do?) and increased the pitch accordingly you could get an idea of 10,000

    It would sound like a constant tone if you could hear it at all.

    I'm gonna get a honing brush and give it a quick and dirty hone then throw it in my original engine the cylinder walls in the original have deep gouges in them, guess the P/O ran it without a filter at one point in time.

    There's a tornado warning for my area right now. I'm sort of spooked because a warning is pretty uncommon for my area.

    It's all calmer from here. This is what it looks like outside right now.

    I remember that time where my area had a tornado warning, back when I was in Grade 10. I was in Math Class at the time, and while I was at the window, a message came over the PA that there was a tornado warning, that rotation was detected, and the entire third story had to evacuate down to the second floor.

    How much of a difference would a change of floor make?

    Winds are stronger the higher you go up.

    Ah, I see.

    I'm guessing the bottom floor would be too crowded or something and would pose a risk if the whole building would have to evacuate.

    Nah, it was just for the top floor.

    What's weird is that the sky shortly went from the grey and cloudy in that attached photo to clear and sunny in a matter of 15-20 minutes.

    I meant why they didn't evacuate you all to the bottom.

    the fire alarms are super weak in my school, in one of the stairwells you cannot hear it at all.

    The bottom floor classrooms were all occupied, so...

    My school has periodic fire drills and lockdown drills.
