Yeah, Klipsch makes some pretty good stuff.

Would a density tune get worse mpg than a MAF tune? Plus the mpg dropped after the cam got installed

Mac, you must drive your TA like a raped ape because my old LT1 WS6 with 3.73s and a 3600 stall would last longer between fill ups and I beat the ever living **** out of that car since I had a 4 banger DD for gas mileage back then.

When my TA was a 6 speed cam car it would get 18-20, 13-15 after the auto swap and 6-8 on E85 and big injectors. Yay gas mileage.

Nope i got around 22mpg on the inter state before the cam and around 16 or more in the city before cam was installed. I really dont dog my car that much hell i barely drive it lol. Ill say this when cruising at 70mph on the interstate on my way home from work it idles at 2500 rpms around 40mph its feels like its bogging down and about to die on me

I got ~11 mpg in my Camaro, but it was an 11 second NA H/C car with all the supporting mods.

You need a tune badly if it's bogging at a steady 2500 rpm.

Sure sure, minus about two seconds, and the smooth, quiet thing, lol. Though the 4.sick would be fun with a turbo, it'd still get donkey punched by an equally modded 3.7

So what do you all think about the Byron Smith conviction? We were discussing it at work, I'm not really sure how I feel about it other than the fact that the dude seems crazy as ****.

Who? Smith? Edit: the old whack job who murdered the pos trash that broke into his house? Both sides were stupid and are getting what comes to them.

24-25 nearly every fillup. Slow is good.

Haven't followed it much, but know the dude was a crazy ****.

Besides the circumstances with that case, I am still perfectly fine with a homeowner shooting a burglar if they feel threatened. At that point it is only natural selection for the dumbass burglars.

If you all haven't heard the audio tape you're missing out on the full effect of the crazy.

This i think the state just wants to make an example out of him. However if someone breaks into my house you have the inherent right to defend your self and others no one person can say how you felt at that moment. They did get him on a technicality which is bs imo. Yea he probably could have used a different weapon of choice but again you never know what could happen. Id rather side with caution and use too much force than not enough force and end up dead...

Big difference between defending yourself and murder though... He didn't even put 6 or 7 in them, it was a couple of shots and some "finishing shots" to make sure they died.

You need to be reasonably afraid for your life to defend yourself with lethal force. Finishing shots isn't described as "reasonable" defense in this case.
