Why are V8's so great?
A buddy of mine has a 69 Chevelle SS and said something about how great this forum was so I thought I'd check it out...
I haven't tuned any V8's yet, but I'm pretty good with imports. I turned this....
into this...
I'm not just into Honda's either... I tuned this Supra too.
Check out this sick headlight conversion I did! These are Nissan Z32 headlights (300zx for those of you who may not know the import-lingo)
I want to do the same thing to one of these... 97 Camaro SS... that would look so sweeet!
I'm also a pretty good driver. I created this diagram the other day after watching this sweet anime called Initial D. You need to check it out! It'll teach you v8's guys some cornering techniques!

Yeah but what about NOS? I have a nitrous kit I'm going to put in the Honda... I'm in the process of planning the engine build. I have the head off if you wanna see pics?

Oh yea I forgot, please don't do those headlights to a Camaro. They look like *** on the Supra I imagine it would look worse on a Camaro. But hey its your **** do what you like.

Say it right... N-O-S ...respect... Well the nitrous is just stage II, stage III will be a custom turbo setup. But I might as well get the nitrous tune dialed in first ya know?

My Killlllss
Oh yeah I should talk about some Kills huh? Well most recently, in the Supra I was cruisin along blasting some ****... I have like the worlds greatest stereo in the Supra btw... and this old ugly as buick or pontiac or whatever from the 70's rolls up and starts revving on me. I could tell it was a V8.
Now I'm not a streetracer, so I was like lets take this to the highway! so they pulled behind me and then I took the right-hand entrance to the onramp so fast I got like 6 car lengths on em accellerating up the onramp before they even clearned the corner!
So then I let them catch up, and the dudes like haning out the window bashing on the doors saying go-go-go, so I drop it into 3rd and we go for it. That old car kept up better then I expected I admit... but I was willing to go faster at least cause they dropped behind me as soon as we hit a buck or so. Gotta have ***** to drive fast ya know?
