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

I don't have any service documentation at all for my camaro.. 

But it is coming up on 150k.. (86.327 miles)

Might want to change the timing chain soon.

Someone once brought a heavily modified one with a turbo and all the racing goodies, even Hoosiers to our event once. It sounded like garbage with his exhaust setup (it literally hurt as he went by... Like it was stupid lol)

 

But it was really fast! Looked fun too

Im toying around with the idea of a insanely high revving setup Silvertop in my e11, modest power in the lower revs high power in higher revs. (11k redline, 10mm lift trd cams, modified head to handle the big Cam, heavier valve springs, modifed shims to handle the big cam, trumpets, megasquirt, steel headgasket, slightly higher comp)

Yeah that does sound nice. 

I could've bought some more stuff. But i know i've got the yearly tax on the car coming up next month and i'd like to not worry about it by then.

$280 just to keep driving for a year stings a bit.

So the Saab actually calls for 90 Octane. Around here we have 87, 89, and either 91 or 93 depending on the station. So should I go for 89 and call it a day or spring for the extra bit of Octane?
