All the bitching about automotive technicians. Specifically, the thread starter.

You won't remove the intake manifold, but you will burn it with a torch? Cletus is back in full force at Supramania.

If you are willing to pay labor, then why are you asking for free help?

What does a long stroke have to do with oil starvation? Are you going to answer it? How about that Ford GT. 3.5 inch bore, 4.2 inch stroke, and it makes power to 7000 rpm, with the rev limit removed. So explain that long stroke oil starvation problem please.

Shut the fuck up already. If your engine fell out, you would be accusing them of doing it.

Car Craft magazine, a mag dedicated to domestics tested a 2.5 vs 3.0 inch exhaust on a 383 CID engine. It produced 462 lb/ft of torque, and 473 hp. The 3 inch system went up 11 and 11, peak to peak with 5.1 average torque, and 4.7 average horsepower. Small gains, even on the stronger engine...

What exactly do you think a tight clearnace is, since people want to mention it? I get tired of reading BS.

Yes, many did learn the hard way that they don't know what they are doing. And a long stroke has what to do with it? Since 3.6 inch stroke is certainly not long?

It doesn't matter what site it is, James Watt's formula doesn't change. 246 to the tires was the estimate, 269 total. Try 14.3 or 14.2 stock. 13.7 is a one off ringer with slicks, and not normal. At SILV, they didn't do 246, they were doing 225, with the top one at just over 300 with a...

Somewhere. You don't suppose the control unit is not engaging the compressor for a reason do you?

More like people are the issue with the 7M.

Assuming you don't have an engine problem, but a cooling problem, here is what you need. The corret thermostat. A working fan clutch. A fan shroud that is complete, and not broken, and the lower engine cover. Then you need a radiator that flows well, and is not obstructed on the outside with...

The weight I listed plus an...arbitrary trap speed. I have seen pretty consistent low 14 times for stock, but more imporantly, 96-99 mph. So I called it 98. I thought you knew horsepower, but the retards here might not know.

That is because anything bigger than about 2.5 on a 180 CID motor will lose its scavenging effect. That is what Jeff Lange was talking about. You felt the torque loss.

Has anybody put it on the scale? Ok, so your car is overated by 11 hp, not one. ;) You know I am just BS'ing you about the power right? Joe, google it. Horespower is how fast work is being done. So it is a mathematical formula that the NHRA uses to calculate those 7000 hp machines. Or...

He learned it from the 5.0 racers that were actually well past 12's with their 500 horsepower car.

They are right. Visually, it will be tough to tell. But the short answer is no. If the parts you are installing are not CARB certified for your make and model, you can not legally install them on your car in California.

When I said you need to look up 41, I meant you need to see what circuit 41 is. A code does not mean you have broken parts. It means the ECU is not seeing the voltage it knows it is supposed to be seeing.

They are especially useful for those that run the quarter mile. Another old old trick is to then ice the intake manifold.

That probably doesn't go to far from where your holding it, don't you think? 41 means the ECU is seeing a TPS signal that is out of range, or does not exist at all. Actually, I don't remember. You need to look it up. 52 is the ECU is seeing a knock sensor signal that is out of range, or...
