Go play in traffic. Or fall in a hole. Or something equally unpleasant.

By the way, light weight crank pullies make noticeable gains, all the time.

Those don't add to your power so the manufacturer really doesn't have anything they can prove other than the difference in weight. Physics day it should allow your engine to rev faster and work slightly less hard to turn. Drive shaft will give you a greater difference in weight and will be easier to install. Very happy with mine. Stock crank had a little slop in the U joint I could feel when accelerating from a stop

Yeah lots of mods make your laptimes faster with no noticable power gains. I mean a squirt of fuel only makes so much energy when it burns. Doesn't mean that it doesn't get you there more quickly/effciently though.

No, that's not an appropriate response. You're the one making claims or agreeing with them. The onus is on you to prove it.
Makes me think of those trucks with shit overflowing out the top with stickers that say "not responsible for damage from falling debris" or whatever.

Yeah, that sticker instantly removes all responsibility from you

Welcome back!

However, I'm going to have to submit you to a summary court martial and ask for 6 months of 2/3rds reduced pay.

@Cole ...... how do you vote .. ??

OHHHH I don't know if I can accept that. Defection to the Mustang forum may be in order.
Not sure I would miss much since it appears that while I was away the "car is tooooo slow" and "is this a good deal?" crowd seem to have taken over so I didn't miss much.
Cole's computer build thread was interesting though.


Not thoroughly convinced I didn't come back too soon when reading through the threads.

The mustang forum won't be any different. Just more "how do you get blood stains out" threads. Petite will still not know how to do simple stuff, still think the car is too slow, still think it's not high quality enough, still not search.
