Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Put my car in track mode and now I'm wondering if 310hp and 320lbs of torque is too much to have fun ripping through gears. 3rd doesn't end till 80mph and by then if I rip through 4th that's car getting impounded territory.

My second gear tops out at 80mph, and sport mode makes my stock power more fun than you'd think

Depends on each persons fun factor, some like speed, others like torque, some like winding turns others like straight ahead.

Now. I'm not going to waste too much money on my little 3800.

But these valve covers are very pretty

Maybe i should take a moment to paint mine at the very least..

 

On second thought..

Will probably have to pull the engine to do so.. Curse you GM!

Must have tall gearing in your car. Would be a lot quicker with short gear ratio at the sacrifice of the 0-60 times.

This camaro caught my eye at the cruise. I think its a 79. Its got sort of a pro-touring look going and it has the landau roof. I dig it.

18766646_512036615587249_191666269064927

Edit. Just realized i could look the thing up online. It is indeed a 79. And it got swapped. A 305 TPI.

My first gear tops out around 45mph or so. I'll find out what 3rd and 4th top out at when I take it to the track

Sounds like my corolla. It's probably not bad if you have 300+ hp and a good bit of torque lol

 

but any less and it feels so slow lol

My car feels like it needs just a tiny bit more power and it'll be more than plenty

 

So I'm gonna throw 95hp more at it and call it a day

 

God. That's probably more than a NA Miata makes to the wheels now. And I'm just casually adding it to my daily

Well diminishing returns is a thing. A 15 hp bump on 100 hp will feel like way more compared to a 15hp bump on 250hp

Oh I know, it's not the amount of horsepower / torque that actually matters, but the percentage compared to stock. 15hp bump on a 100hp car is of course a 15% increase in power

So glad I don't have the money to replace an engine for fun because if I could you know you'd be seeing two posts from me:

  1. Hey I tuned my engine
  2. Holy shit it exploded spectacularly

God what's amusing to me is for two tiny turbos they can make so much power. Kinda want to get a wrecked ecoboost and just tune it.

I'd love to do a TT V6 Ecoboost Foxbdoy (Same engine as you of course)

 

Or maybe even a S13, but we all know how much I love S13s

I got the bed for it, let's do it. How many days do you think it'll take to make boost?

$12k tho new, would be so much fun but for the money I really couldn't justify it, even for a wrecked engine and I checked some yards. Cheapest, okay condition one I found was $6.5k.
