Wilbus,

Call Pratt and Whitney, then get ahold of any decent engine shop, and if you want "true" engine data, spend the roughly $250. - 1250. a pop and buy each manual. Because half these "other" books have bogus figures in them.

I have a book. Gun Digest 2001. Any gun you can name is in there from the 1800 on. Weights, dementions, mussel velosity.. Anything you can name... You can order it on-line but I forgrt where .. Very cool stuff... It' also why I laughed at WWII online.
