for a street/strip car, 750 is plenty. on the track an 850 might get you another hundreth or two.

Yes, the techs should work for free, since nobody else in that chain of failures is paid on commission. customer is paying for a service, not you, and or the people around you screwing up, losing keys, being in the bathroom etc. sounds like the people you work around cost you money. charging the cu...

they probably want $40 to replace that cabin filter too, which might take 2 minutes if the guy is slow. - Pull ticket - Look in cabinet for keys - Keys not in cabinet - Go talk to the guy who wrote the ticket - Guy not in his office, in the shitter - Find keys hidden behind the moldy coffee cup on ...

A normal gas engine I would do every 75,000 miles, a direct injected engine I would do every 50,000 miles. Some in the industry call some of the cleaning services wallet flushing, but again done in moderation these services can add miles to your vehicle. A brake flush at 100,000 miles is money well...

Gaskets are $10 and why don't you already have those laying around? How can you not try out the worst intake manifold ever made? I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the haters have never used a Torker II themselves and are just regurgitating some stuff they heard somewhere... torkerII.gif iv...

it could be just a failure, or abuse. how did you guys run it? without more info, flip a coin.

the torquerII is a dog. if there is any other choice, just toss it in the recycle bin.

probably need more than weight added to the other side if we're concerned about thrust, with that big angle, it makes one think that the flame front/combustion pressure is going to push heavily on the one side. easiest solution is to cut the top of the piston flat, and toss a turbo on the engine! :l...

As long as there's a connection. even a H pipe.

this is my first thought. ive never seen where an H pipe wouldnt tone down the exhaust note.

excessive acceleration, no but did get a ticket once for "exhibition of speed"!

looks like a pretty good combo. id probably lean more towards a performer rpm air gap even though im a fan of the vic jr. if my memory is good, the vic jr and perf rpm are pretty much the same height, and the rpm will give a little better low end.
