Re: Bolt on vs pin on/lift off cowl hood

pin: light, cheap, awkward, harder to fit to car (locating pins)
bolt-on: heavier, more expensive, fits easier, operates just like stock.

which do you want? forget opinions other than your own.

Re: I invented a wind-powered generator to add HP and save gas

no, the tpi/tunnel ram setup was on a 350. it got well over 30mpg and knocked down 11.1s. the turbo buick was a 12 sec ride and got 45mpg. i think i finally got it right now.

Re: I invented a wind-powered generator to add HP and save gas

i may be remembering the turbo buick motor wrong. the one i mentioned was a tuned port upper manifold on top of a tunnel ram, kinda like a super ram.

well, that's still 45 mpg. tricks or not

Re: I invented a wind-powered generator to add HP and save gas

there was a guy that ran a car in car craft's real street eliminator that ran 11s (or maybe 12s) and pulled down 45 mpg. that was a tuned port 350 with a tunnel ram and a turbo in a 3rd gen t/a
