Elbow Sensor
Elbow Sensor So my buddy was driving with his sensor out for a week on accident, and he puts it back in and says wow were did all my power go? So on the way to school today, i took mine out and WOW i felt a difference, the tires now bark and spin when shifting!!! Our mechanic says its going to killl MPG but it will be great for 1/4, so we go out on sunday were gon check it out. I recomend LT1 guys trying this out for yourselfs, its a great boost of hp and its not even expensive. ahahahhahahah

Don't post **** like this again. You've been on my nerves several times already. This is the last warning before you take a small vacation from this forum.

ok, to clear things up, they unpluged the iat sensor, not take it out, I was out there and had him plug it back in for the last run because when you have it unpluged it retards timing, (right?) so no worrys about unfiltered air.

I think he was talking to cyphur_traq
By the way we were just testing it out, which is what you go to the track for. We put a piece of tape over the hole so no air would get in. Personally i thought it helped out cause i was running my best times, but thats my own opinion. I beat my best time by .1 with nothing new done to the car. Whether it was the sensor or not i dont know.

Thanks man
Even though it doesn't sound fast to 90% of the people on this site, im pretty proud of it. It makes me the 2nd fastest car at our high school only behind my buddies turboed CRX @10 psi, which has ran a 13.3. About the temp, i think that had a lot to do with good times, cause i had been running consistant 14.2s in the last 2 races, but it was about 70 degrees when i got my 14.02 back in may. Oh well. I guess we will never know because i didn't have a chance to plug it back in after that CRX beat me by .01. It pisses me off too because i was 4th in points. PM me when you get the turbo all set up right in your camaro. I want a ride.
