Rotary engine building traditionally has had 2 extremes, those building them poorly and blaming engine, and those building them well via experience they don't wish to share sometimes for understandable commercial reasons.

Rob Dahm considers himself an entertainer, but through that role, he has helped share his journey into the world of rotary engine tuning and building with no filter on his successes or failures and insight into the work trailblazers like PAC Performance and similar have accomplished so far.

At SEMA we had a chance to pick his brain about this journey, what he has learnt and now what advice he can give others keen to dive into this world too.
