    I Think I Am A Genious!?

    whatever, why don't you get out of the textbook and try something a little different. technical knowledge helps but unless you actually experiment or try/do something yourself how do you really know? :shrug:

    I Think I Am A Genious!?

    yeah, I don't care what the nay-sayers say, I have done homemade ram air on many differen't cars and I always get a decen't improvement. so while all the keyboard jockies go off with thier textbook theories and mathmatical equasions and bs I'll just keep winning races :)

    All your V6 technical Q's answerd here. (Generic sticky)

    I vote nay on that one I had a feul injected 3.8 t-bird for a while and removing the silencer does help. on most ford cars removing the silencer and dropping in a panel filter is just about as good and any $175 cia

    Mods you wish you had not made???

    actually I have been doing pretty good on the stang except for the motor cracking a piston (201k mile hyper-block) and blowing motors just comes with territory in the modding/racing game. I think the most bolt-on issues I ever had was with my 89' caprice. in the end that car was pretty...

    any B cammers out there?

    ya know, your the third person I have EVER heard say that. which is also funny becouse I outran a few cammed 5.0's before I blew my motor. like I stated above, one other option I have heard some good reviews about is a stock cam advance 4* with a 1.7rr. I guess if I do that and it doesn't...

    any B cammers out there?

    POLL: Draw-thru or Blow-thru?

    I say draw through becouse it should give a better idea of how much air is going in. but then it won't account for the blowoff valve. the thing with the blow through is even though it gets all the air that goes on the motor that reading is saturated in heat and pressure and is therefore less...

    any B cammers out there?

    please, need quick response

    ok, new info I decided to take the car on the road to see how it would run. to my surprise, all I have is the initial throttle tip in, nothing else. I bumbed the gas, and eventually floored it. not even a change in engine tone, nothing. new theory: TPS the tps helps the engine to...
