Re: Solenoids and <R74>

I have no idea. We have used it before, back in 2008 with Overdrive. I looked back at the 2008 manual, and there isn't a rule like this year's <R74>. It doesn't say anything about having to have pistons work through the movement of air through only one solenoid.

i would actually suggest stopping the imput not the exhaust. if you can manage that (and its not as easy as it seems) then you can control with MUCH more precision than stopping the exhaust, considering the cylinders arent made perfect.
