I am sure there are dyno sheets out there of before and after with runs from 1500-7kish that show the minimal gain, but no loss in the lower rpms.....


....and I am not sure why no one has mentioned it, but I call BS on anyone that is a gamer named SuperCarl that is preaching about drag racing over the internet.

When you said you "knew" him, I thought he was a friend that lived in your town. BTW, when you meet a "girl" online and she sends you some pics of her big ol *******, it's probably a guy.

Just saying.

1000% agreed. And girls online don't exist, so keep that in mind.

And I should have prefaced what I said with this; Laygo this is not a personal attack by any means, just a word to the wise. Advice these days is mostly here-say.

hahahaha great thread...

cat back and CAI are sound mods.. no real power till you get a good tune.

I love DD my V -header/w cats...

BIGGEST CON TO HEADERS!!
there is no such thing as low profile. no sneaking away from a chics house at 4am, no showing up late to work un noticed.. i live in an apt and my neighbor on the 1st floor says that my car is his alarm clock. my set up isnt even that loud, just deep. Other then that its **** n gravy..

He told me everything face to face. He's an older gentleman (mid 50s & his right hand is all but 2 fingers & a big toe), plus, given his demeanor & all those that know him better than me that tooted his horn more than he did, I believe it.

I'm all for being cynical. I do it well, but there was NOTHING to make me think there was any deceit being presented.

Someone else posting about SuperCarl:

Me peeking over the shoulder of SuperCarl. (He's in the white shirt)

Is the first run w/o the cam, 2nd one with? Or? This is before/after tune with CAI (diff from intake!), headers, & catback?
