Hey, did you see the dyno from Nameless, 43 ftlbs at ~4000 RPM?!!!

Yeah, and they haven't even played with the intake cam phasing yet.

I wonder if they'll use a Helmholtz resonator to fix the dip at 3200 though.

Hmmm, I don't know if there would be room for that, let's go look at my engine bay to see if we could figure it out.

Yeah, lets go.

Him I wonder what this does?

Oh, that's the MAF sensor, or manifold absolute pressure sensor.

Why do they call it absolute pressure.

Because that's the pressure above absolute zero, or full vacuum.

I wish we could finally get some info on the cam, lift, duration, phasing adjustment capabilities...


And most people eyes glossed over at dyno. Also, this is a VERY nontechnical conversation for a lot of us.

I understood everything AND had a nerdy conversation about the header last night with a friend of mine. No surprise I'm single! Though that has more do with being an asshole.

I found this article comical by Motor Trend. I could see this article coming from Jalopnik at least.

I went back and read some of your previous posts and I see that your purchase involves more than, involves bigger issues than, merely which car to buy.



I understand. (With your permission: Consider yourself hugged. )

You know I never really thought about it like that-you make a very good point thanks

--And yeah, I'm a very indecisive person by nature, but I'm hoping after all my test drives my gut wont steer me wrong -haha Pun Intended!-

As for learning stick I'm going to be learning in my moms 93ford escort

So I was watching The Burn, and they had a story about a kid in Brazil that died from dehydration because he jacked off 42 times in 1 night!
http://www.barstoolsports.com/barsto...imes-in-a-row/

A 16-year-old boy died after masturbating 42 times without stopping in Rubiato town, in Goiás region, Brazil. His mother told a local newspaper that she already knew about his son’s addiction and that she planned to see the doctor, but the decision came too late. The young man began to masturbate at midnight and spent the whole night to compulsively touch himself. At school, his classmates commented on the boy’s problem and some said he asked them to connect to the webcam for being observed. They further said that his attraction to women was extreme; he was attracted to all kind of women, regardless of texture physics, color and age. In his room a great amount of pornography was found, including photographs and videos of nude women that were saved on his PC.
