Felt that way for a minute last night after seeing Tcoat's post. Kinda spooky.

In other news, I'm using a new tablet I finally got specifically for torque. Going back to my laptop for this. Not loving the touchscreen.

I don't think I would then. Yes, it's a great price. But how likely is it that he took everything related to the kit off before he sold the car? Which means you'd be left trying to figure out what you don't have and trying to piece together the rest of the kit, at what cost?

...... you nor your car need that.

Your car don't like to be forced fed.

You will just get into trouble racing other cars.


Feel better, I just may have saved you $2,000 and a bunch of headaches ....

Yep, old, fat, shaky fingers don't work well with touch screens ......

Here's to hoping I don't have a bunch of gas left in the engine bay and my car goes up in flames when I start it.....

This is why I won't bring the car in for the HPFP replacement, even though all my buddies (and others) insist the new pump won't chirp.

Even the service advisors asked if I wanted the FP replaced for free (and I love free stuff). My answer always is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Yes, it sure is annoying. People have said my car sounds like its going to die. But I have learned to live with it via music and exhaust

That's no joke. Need little Asian fingers.

I think about this everyday. Supercharger vs high compression ratio... although I guess with e85 you could do both...

I often considered buying a drum of e85, but I just don't drive the car enough to make it worthwhile

Yeah my state has it for govt only, lol. Southern states you can find it at almost any pump.

Wut?

Can boost with stock compression on pump gas now.

Disregarding a supercharger solely on adding rotating mass is ridiculous. I'm not saying there aren't other reasons to pick something else or to not boost at all, but that one is really scraping the bottom of the barrel
