    will an exhaust leak give you shitty gas mileage?

    Well he said at the exhaust manifold. A hole in your muffler won't do shit. As IJ said, check the oxygen sensor voltage. It should switch, but lean it will stay under 450 mv.

    toe adjustment

    If you have a rust problem, an acetylene torch is probably what you need.

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    This is an example of a munitions explosion. Munitions is a missle, bomb, rocket, etc. As opposed to an explosion of fuel from HC. There is a flash and flame with the munition, but not like the HC.

    1/4 Mile times for N/A Owners?

    Dean Marcum ran a 13.8 or something with a 7MGE. Ask him what all he did on his board.

    How to make a 13.9 second N/A

    LS1 isn't a SBC. It is definitely a GM product though.

    aluminum block?

    Once you start down the dark path, forever will you be a ricer.

    Whats your timing?

    Open loop and closed loop do not change timing. It is for fuel control and the cat. You can get a tank of gas every now and then that isnt real good. Check for codes. The newer ones, don't know when the switch was, have a code for no knock control. Seems like it is a 53. Then you will know...

    Gutting Cat on stock DP

    How about you dont destroy the cat, and get a new one. That way, when a Democrat is president again, and he makes you smog your car like kalifornia, you can just put the stocker back on.

    Downpipe and Elbow I want your opinions...

    The best flowing is an integrated elbow, as these guys are suggesting with the BIC DDP. Certainly not the cheapest, but it equalizes the pressure the best.

    And Colorado isnt in the midwest, but Ohio is.

    i have a stupid problem

    If you try to close it, the hatch bounces? Two things. One, it is already latched, and the locking mechanism wont allow the striker to enter. The other is the adjustment is too low, and the striker isnt engaging the latch.

    toe adjustment

    Pic? Becuase toe is only changed left and right. It is the angle between the wheels. Excuse me. Changing the camber changes the toe, then toe is corrected with the tie rod ends. It has been a while.

    will an exhaust leak give you shitty gas mileage?

    Absolutely yes. The false air leak creates a lean voltage signal, and the ECU goes richer trying to correct it.

    Genuine crop circles

    And people think they aren't real, ha!

    Misses after 4K

    I would like to make a correction. The combustion triangle is not air/fuel/spark. It is air/fuel ratio, spark timing, and most important, compression.

    1/4 Mile times for N/A Owners?

    Well actually it will show how much average hp he needs to cover that distance in that time with that much weight. That is what hp is anyway, a work being done measurement. Yes, there are many variables. But it is what the average needs to be. Stock GE with a W58 weighs more like 3450, and...

    How to make a 13.9 second N/A

    There is a spring inside the airflow meter that is wound and puts tension on the door. Loosening it allows the door to open earlier, tighten it opens more difficult. It is sort of like trimming the airflow signal plus or minus on a GTE. Mark it before you move it. Do not touch anything else...

    Like I said, call the soldiers war mongers, oil profiteers or badmouth them however you like. They dont like it or want to hear, but the difference between you and them is they will fight for your rights. And you would cut him off in traffic. Dont sweat it, he has your back.

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    I highly recomend renting or buying a DVD called "Saddam Hussein, Weapon of Mass Destruction" to learn of his rise to power and fall. It is packed with facts, and horror stories from the Iraqi people that you can use every time angry liberals spout lies about the Global war on Terror(radical...

    Blah blah blah, 9/11 conspiracy, a plane has hit the Pentagon? What do you think?

    Oh yeah, Bush lied about Iraq, they were not a threat. Iraqi intelligence documents from 1992 list Osama bin Laden as an Iraqi intelligence asset. Numerous sources have reported a 1993 nonaggression pact between Iraq and al Qaeda. The former deputy director of Iraqi intelligence now in U.S...
