Patience Grasshopper! It has been over a year since the 'initial' news. I think it is near!

Man, grasshoppers everywhere!!!!! It seems the mention of the PowerPro brings out all kinds of bugs. Hope there are no bugs in the controls on the PowerPro.:D

Just got an email from SS trying to sell me a speed reducer for a couple hundred+++ bucks. Won't need it with a PowerPro, right?

Probably not, but it is I am sure a lot 'cheaper'!;)

I have spent many an idle(r bearing) minute thinking about this.

My educated guess is that Power Pro enhances the high-end speed range, up to 10,000 rpm or so. But I don't think it enhances the low-end speed range as much. Furthermore the Speed Reducer is a mighty Torque Multiplier and I wonder if a Power Pro alone could match/exceed that effective torque.
