yellow mirage is Jerry aka lancerman.
Who is a very knowledgable person in the workings of the ICE.
He builds engines, trannys and is a good tuner.
Al is also a very knowlegable person in how the ICE works and how to make it go. I also agree with him. A ICE is a ICE. The electronics or lack there of is a different story and thats where some people specialize in certain brands when it comes to the tunning. But anyone who knows there way around a engine, especialy any modern one can figure all that out with out to much difficulty.
I would consider myself one with good working knowledge of the ICE and how it works as well as a good tunner that specialises in Mitsubishis but I still lack in the over all knowledge that the likes of Jerry or Al and a few other here have.

I dont think anyone can take the award, everybody has different specialties-Me? I'd say when it came to advanced ICE engineering/engine building, I might take that. Ive been involved with APBA world championship teams, Top Fuel teams, Prostock/comp elim engine programs.(not being cocky) I've devoted most of my time to this.
But I lack a lot of knowledge in certain areas. For instance, people call me to help with drag racing suspensions, but tell me to go away when it comes to road courses. I know the engineering priciples/dynamics, but have never really applied them.
Ive set-up Top Fuel clutches and tuned Blown Alky fuel systems, but I've never changed a rear-gear. I am probably one of the worst street car mechanics youd ever meet. Im used to stuff orginized and designed my way, and when its not, I get to fast and dont look at WHY the designed it that way(trying to get better)
I also suck at wiring/electronics-this is where im currently improve. Im a decent machinist-but only about %.02. I look at this whole deal as a LOOOOOOOOONG road, say 1,000 miles. Say if someone like Warren Johnson is at 850 miles, I feel im about 150 into the trip, theres no replacement for years of experiance. Plus im only 21 and have a lot of years left to learn. So im gonna vote for Senor Honda as he seems to have age to his credit.
