I was being sarcastic. The oil industry reports lower than average profit margins compared to other American businesses. They also pay phenomenal income taxes. Read and learn something: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=932160&postcount=72 Ignorantly parroting the...

But but but! They are EVIL!

We're at $2.35 for regular (87), $2.45 for mid-grade (89) and $2.55 for premium (93) here.

I looked into doing exactly this years ago. With the American legal & insurance systems, it wound up being not economically viable. Even with signed waivers, etc. Maybe things have changed. Part of your plan needs to be to assume you are going to get sued, and you're going to have to defend...

If I remember correctly I paid about $20K for mine.

Actually, he bites. But since he's so old he'll just gum at you for a bit and then fall asleep... :evil2:

No problem with that approach, I use it myself. Having an extra margin of safety is always a good thing. I simply disagree with the statement that the stock system is marginal.

While I agree with the rest of your post, I'd beg to differ on the statement quoted above. I'd even go so far as to say it's patently untrue. The stock NA system was designed for an NA car. The stock turbo system was designed for a turbo car. The factory 7M's cooling system is far more than...

Off the top of my head: Basic Performance Upgrades BPU: Downpipe, exhaust, intake, fuel cut control or lexus AFM, boost control (including shimmed wastegate or bleeder T) BPU+: all of the above plus cam gears & intercooler. BPU++: Fuel control (AFC, VPC, MAFT, etc...) Advanced...

Typical turbo dyno: Typical N/A dyno: Don't worry about the numbers, look at the shape of the curves. Torque = acceleration power. A faster car has more "area under the curve" when it comes to torque - meaning more power is available over the entire powerband. This is why a big block...

I know what you mean...

My sentiments exactly. If Theresa wants to make a ring out of me, I won't care..

Back in the 70's and 80's we had a cabin upstate New York, pretty close to Lake George. There was a mountain road nearby. Local residents (including my parents) constantly complained for years that it needed a guardrail on one curve because there was a 250 ft drop there, and the existing...

Guys, I rarely ask for favors. But this is a special case. I'd like to ask that you show some support for my good friend Oleg Volk. Oleg's forum was stolen by the webhost (the host changed the domain registration to his name, then locked out all the admins from the site). This is outright...
