    Why Don't People Question This?

    i totally agree on what you are basically saying. when its comes to dynos, people get to much into the numbers. ive plenty of cars making 500rwhp, but on the street/strip, they get blown out by cars making 250rwhp lets say. its comes to tuning and driver skill. to me, numbers dont mean nothing...

    need help with timing

    you dont have to pull out the fender. its on the bottom on the passneger side inthe engine bay. the color of it is gray and its a clip. just pull it out before you rotate the distributer.

    update on h-pipe install

    i fixed the "rubbing" problem. just adjusted the hanger. had some small holes along the tailpipes as well. fixed those suckers up . i love the sound of the the h-pipe with flowmasters. i think the both h and x pipes give off almost the same gains.

    update on h-pipe install

    the sound is AWESOME ! smooth, throtty and deep. not raspy whatsoever and its felt by SOTP. the driver side tailpipe is rubbing against the tire. everything is installed correctly. ill try moving it around to get it away from the tires. other than, ive been hearing negative things about bbk o/r...

    update on h-pipe install

    i just installed my o/r bbk h-pipe. the results and sound were very impressive with my flowmasters. i was crossing my fingers. the pipe had a direct fit "yes". straight foward install. had a little hole on 1 of the tailpipes but fixed. the other 1 slighty rubs the tire a slight bit. i was...

    gas mileage

    removing the cats would help top end but i dont think it would effect anything in the low end. theres less restriction in the exhaust and nothing clogging the airways. as for removing the egr, i didnt experience any drivibility problems. i would agree that reducing rotating mass would would be...

    gas mileage

    yup basically 1500 rpms or 2000 is where i shift at. once i get my o/r h-pipe in, ill shift a bit higher cause of the sound of flows :D. i did basically everything except for changing fuel filter, fuel injection. weight is the enemy on our cars oh btw...i gotta have seats if you know what i...

    gas mileage

    well i certainly dont want to run on a lean mixture. its a good point view though. i did some research and i dont think 373s will lower your mpg drastically. you can gain a bit back by pulleys, tune up, tires and limiting weight.

    gas mileage

    i drive less than 6 miles a day. school and work are both around the corner. i shift at around 1500 rpms when in the city. i dont care on going fast on the street only if im in a hurry. i just cruise and hear my flowmasters. i know a guy that has 4:10s and still gets 21mpg in the city. he says...

    gas mileage

    uggggghhh... 2:73s. no wonder those chevy/mopar boys laugh at us. j/k. there are alot of people here stating that they claim to get over 20mpg with 3:73s. its depends on how you drive.

    gas mileage

    i would really like to improve the gas mileage on my car. im certain i might get 21 at best around the city and 26 highway. i still have 2:73s still on plus with the basic tune up. now im slapping in a o/r h-pipe and hopefully that increases my mileage a bit due to that the cats are choking up...

    out of curiousity
