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

The quaife is new for 2016, the old car still had the h-pattern. He was attacking the curbs pretty hard and was driving at the ragged edge, coming off every corner with a bit of correction. Crazy quick.

Here goes... Lol

I was nervous to post this video but whatever... 

 

Youll like the part at the beginning of my 4th run when Neil the camera guy rode with me. 4th was also my fastest. 1st two runs were terrible, well none were perfect lol. My last was pretty good but I nudged a cone (camera didn't record that one)

Original armrests for my car are insanely expensive. 

There's one for sale right now for 100euros.

Still tempting because I like armrests :P

pfffft.... who needs armrests when you have 500 (ish) whp and really comfy seats.

(conciddering getting a barracuda center console because it looks nice and some of them have arm-rest mounts)

 

ps: 1970s mopar seats are comfy but mine need new covers because they are from the 1970s. (covers dont affect the comfort of the seat it is more for looks and it keeps the foam in the seat)

welp..... im looking at cylinder heads for the 440, i have found some twin plug aluminium heads that seem interesting but idk if they are worth the cost. (they are like the hemi twin plug heads but not "dome" shaped, they have two plugs that spark at the same time to give a better and more even combustion)

yup.... the maintenance costs alone are going to be higher than snoop dog....

it would cost around 270$ for spark plugs... and tbh im not sure the extra eight plugs would provide much performance gain.

lol, why not just throw a cummins and boost at it? :P i prefer being a valued customer at every gas station /s

(the 440 drinks though, the two hour (more like 45minutes because "testing the car") drive home after i bought it cost a pretty penny in fuel)

I can imagine. Just flooring my comparatively small 3.8l engine and revving it out properly makes it noticeable that it is a large engine.

Managed 500km's on one tank though. (315 miles) Which isn't too bad. I wonder if i could get it higher after a proper service
