1. They have 5 more cylinders then a 3 banger (geos)
2. They have 4 more cylinders then a 4 banger
3. They have 2 more cylinders then a 6 popper
4. They have 8 more cylinders then a B13 (a hampster and wheel don't count as a cylinder.)
Can't beat displacement
Fixed

Well I built a few rotaries too, I just wanted to take a break and try piston engines again. I've also played with a BMW and a Z.

Fess up. You bent a push rod, dropped a valve and blew your head gasket. Aren't those the usual ricer excuses.

Uh no actually all the piston engines i've worked on were OHC, mainly inline-6's... Like I said I don't know much about V8's which is why I came here to learn.

Seriously? You came here to the SRK to learn about how to mod a V-8. Then you are going to build some imprt **** in stages. Your kill story sucked too. You are phuking entertaining but in a sick sort of way, like the train wreck you just can't help but look at and say it sucked to be them. Your stay here will be short lived and the only reason this is still open is because Unit thought it would be funny. Which it is by the way.

First off I have to ask. Is this for real? I can't believe unit still has this open. It's making me get Face-palm reaction really bad.

You misunderstood my question.
I'm not asking if you deal crack.
I'm asking you if you smoke crack and if you happened to get a hold of a computer while doing so.

Also, a T28 is a tiny turbo, particularly for a 7MGT.

Remember in The Fast and the Furious (The Real One: the first one, the rest were garbage about drifting and crap!) in the first big race where the dude hops on his computer during the race and ups all his meter thingies and almost wins the race, leaving his engine smoking and ticking at the end of the race??? Thats what a stage 3 nawz'some system will do in a stage 2 tune! Best stay away from that unless you got a co-pilot to run the computer while you're racing!

Goooooo NAWWZZZ!! Nawzalicious it is! pishhh pishhhhhhh!

Wow you guys are harsh lol... I'm glad I'm only joking about all this :p ...like you said... friday entertainment.

I actually love V8's. I got a chance to drive a C5 Z06 in Nevada for a day. Needless to say I fell in love with it and if I ever own a corvette I'd want that one. I prefer the lines of the C5 to the current models and I even liked the silver-grey color.

The feeling of instant torque is so nice! I've also ridden in some late model vettes on the track which was also fun... It's just not the same as feeling that power under your own right foot.
