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

Leroy is a C5. But I'll be damned they made over 700 on that 5.3 that came in the Auction C6.

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.

I could think of better ways but I doubt you're familiar with the intricacies of the AX, AN, and AO transmissions and their failure modes which repeated for almost 20 years with little to no revision by Ford, the 3.8 head gasket fiasco, and probably a bunch of other things as well. And because making an acronym for Chrysler is just too dang hard!

What’s the weaknesses of an A4OD(??) from the 1989 vintage? 

 

Hooked to a 7.3IDI turbo if that matters.
