    To port match myself, or let someone else have the PITA.

    I'd recommend flow matching forsure, that said, the major inconsistancies in flow will be in your intake manifold, not your head. So that's where you're gonna have to do the serious port work. In the head I don't see a problem with port matching them.

    2008 DBS unveiling

    any word on what it's going to cost? I hate to be the crude guy here, but given how heavy it is, and how powerfull it is. It better be a hell of a bargain, or Z06's, GT3's, Vipers, etc are gonna be looking like real bargains.

    LOL I remember when this first happened, I was on a jeep forum at the time and it was cross posted.

    350 in supra

    werd. it should fit, someday hopefully I'll have enough money kicking around to give it a crack. If my bike/twincharge projects ever are done... which they likely won't be.

    350 in supra

    where to begin with this. For starters. how many hp is your 7m/1j/2j making? is it more than 1000hp? if so I'll shut up and take a seat, but you've gone and ran your mouth, PLEASE back that up and prove me wrong. Second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TXLMR74nmY This car comes with a...

    megasquirt standalone ecu's

    ya, I hate to say it, but if you have to ask, the MS probably isn't for you. If you're a technical person with good understandings of both electronics/computer science, aswell as mechanics/engine management. Then by all means, kicks major ass. but odds are high that if you have to ask... a...

    350 in supra

    you're a ricer idiot. Is it about "keeping it in the family" or "being JDM mad tyte yoooooo!" or is it about going faster for less money? personally I don't think the chevy 350 is a gift from heaven by any means, it's a piece of shit motor with MANY MANY MANY workarounds/compromises for shit...

    more hp...on smaller exhaust?

    ya that's pretty much what I thought. Only your primary sizes are gonna need to be big enough to deal with the extra air-mass.

    more hp...on smaller exhaust?

    to really give you boys fits. What's your thoughts on exhaust systems for supercharged engines?

    NASCAR driving coach

    NASCAR uses a carburettor because as soon as you introduce fuel injection, you open the door to traction control, and you'll never close that door again (as evidenced by F1 in the mid 90's). In my opinion, the 4 major engine types in NASCAR at the moment are more different from each other than...

    more hp...on smaller exhaust?

    gotta say that I'm somewhat surprised by this honestly. I was always under the impression that a turbo provides more than enough back pressure for any engines needs (infact enough that it's costing you big power by blocking itself). And that charge velocity shouldn't be that important 'cause...

    Thoughts on a Staggered Setup?

    kind of a mute point for real world applications. The rubber will be heavier and more importantly, further out, so your moment of inertia will be higher with the 17's. that said, i'd still run the 17's, I do in fact, 'cause for most racing that we do, traction is a lot more important than...

    China makes cheap cars to compete with big auto in US/EU/JP

    there's a chinese company that bought the rights to manufacture the old style jeep Cherokee's (only with a 4 cylinder, the 6 cylinder isn't available) The metallurgy isn't that great, but it's a proven design, and frankly, if they came over here selling one for 7 grand, I'd buy it.

    i went and looked a 240z

    I agree 100%. I also feel that this should extend to many of the acronyms that we commonly use. stuff like "that's ftw" is equally juvenile. We're not 12 year olds text messaging each other on cell phones guys.

    It's official, I am the biggest idiot on SM. Help with cooling passage blockage

    actually I had considered dissolving it on purpose, and washing it out. if you have another ear plug like that, drop it in gas for a night and see if it dissolves or no. if it does, then just wash the stupid thing down into the oil pan with more gasoline, and let it sit a day, then drain it out.
