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

Order those flat bottom bits front and rear. 

 

The tahoe I’m gonna buy has a lower coefficient of drag than your miata. 0.36 in standard form. With some of the Tahoe Hybrid areo pieces you can lower it to 0.34 (rear tire trim, the tail lights and the D piller drim are what i wanna get for it)

lol. Front air dam is probably the most cost efficient way of fixing it. Minus the ground clearance you lose in the front. heck even a basic splitter would probably help a little.

I am short on spare turbos at the moment, however because of space constraints a supercharger would be more likely.

I kind of like some of the fixed headlight options for them.

Then buy a new LS3 block, build a forged bottom end, add a nice lumpy cam, a good set of heads and a supercharger on E85 for a nice 650-700hp.
