    Explain HP vs. Torque

    Torque is the twisting force imparted to the crank flange and then transmitted to the transmission and the rest of the drivetrain. To some degree torque is the grunt that gets things moving, and horsepower is the force that keeps things moving. An engine is most efficient at its torque peak...

    Anyone running straight pipes on their 03-04's?

    I've got strait pipes with the stock exhaust piping....I'm going to get a MAC one of these days, but the strait pipes sound pretty good.....really loud under WOT but still pretty quiet at normal cruising speeds. It does backfire quite a bit under deceleration but it sounds cool.

    Oil in the 03/04's

    Finally another FRAM hater. I had one blow out the gasket on me and spew oil everywhere...I'll never use them again. I use OEM filters now, aftermarket filters do filter out more particles but they also restrict oil flow. Full synth all the way dude. Spend the extra money, your motor will...

    I need a good radar detector

    Let me know how it works out, too bad you aren't here in Illinois, we could test it on a couple of different guns. On another note....I'm sure everyone knows where the national 55mph speed limit came from right? No? We, for those who don't, it came from the 1973/74 oil embargo. We needed...

    I need a good radar detector

    Oh yeah, and your comment about the Jammers.....true they are technically illegal, though the local police forces CANNOT prosecute....the FCC has to which brings it to federal court. I only use it on the interstates where I'm not the only car on the road....but yes, it does work.....I test it...

    I need a good radar detector

    I haven't tried it in any of those states....finding mobile extender data from local states is no small task, because most of them honestly don't know or care what they have. The BCT-12 is what it is, supplimental information with a built in scanner. When I get an alert from it here in...

    I need a good radar detector

    Yes and no....depends on the state and their setup. Most mobile extenders are usually in the "constant on" mode........in Illinois, yes, they have to be outside of their car and keying the mic, but I have used it in several states and it works really well. Ohio is one that doesn't work very...
