Ill bet this will be locked, but anyways. Sounds like the kid here who tells me its a shame I can't put a chip in my T/A (I could but not worth it IMHO) since they make huge differences. Or the person yesterday who told me his neghbors cop crown vic had a twin turbo big block V-8. My other favorites are the factory 6 speed 390 hp 76 vette, and the 230 hp stock LO3. I hope to race the LO3 this spring, and then laugh my *** off as he tells everyone I must have like 450 hp to do that to him.

Yanno.. that's not quite funny anymore.. I had someone with an lo3 tell me they did have 450 hp.. said the previous owner dropped a race motor in it... was a long time ago.. but I notice his LO3 wasn't any faster than mine, and I'd be happy if mine was able to push stock numbers..

EDIT--- and.. after actually steeling my stomach so I could read the top post.. *LOL* That's worse than the 3.1 running around here with viper-style stripes and Onseki R stickers on it (misspelled, but I could care less. It has import performance stickerpower on it)

It is entirely possible to get around 20-40 HP from a chip. But the thing is your are goning to be spending ALOT of time tuning it properly.

Ok v6, I may agree with you, however, not a hypertech he bought off the shelf for 140 buxs.

Esp when hypertech does not list one for the v6, and jetchip only list ganes of 10-15hp.

Oh my ***..I can't believe I just read that. I feel...dumber for having read that.... ***....smoking his tires at 40 mph in 2nd...mmmhmm....sure...11's on an N/A, non-nitroused 2.8? Suuuure. You have to be lucky as hell to get a V8 to run 11's on all motor....a 2.8? HA! No way in hell.... Notice the lack of technical data to back himself up too? If the thing run's 11's, surely he'd brag about his parts combo in more technical detail than "saw yours and is same engine, but mine was diff from factory to start with cam, rings and total performance with tranny high end and all that stuff,, rear end "

Oh yes, I'm sure a tranny rebuild, a beefy rear end, a cam, and piston rings will net you 11's for sure in a 2.8 that came with 135 horsepower. Yep. And my Mustang ran 4.85 at 220 mph last week.. It'll pull mid 4's on a good day but I had a hard time hooking it into 3rd.

Was this an AIM conversation? Must...refrain.....

I just talked to the person, I couldnt resist, I was bored. I deleted the first part about it being an old cop car and faster than a 350 though and the part where they said "what's 11's."
Though this is non tech, this goes to show you how misinformation causes people to think things about all fbodies and if you dont know what your talking about then just shut up.

Camaro rs 88: he rebuilt the engine last year since we had it apart to fix the oil leak
YouCanRotInHell: my 2.8 used to leak oil, i fixed it though
Camaro rs 88: i scraped bottom on a dirt road and ripped the pan a big hole
Camaro rs 88: he was pissed to come drag it home.. then he broke the plastic front end too
YouCanRotInHell: i let a buddy of mine drive the car and he hit a rock with the oil pan, just dented it
Camaro rs 88: with the chain
YouCanRotInHell: that sucks
Camaro rs 88: he cant find the parts to fix it like he wants it so it is just setting up now
Camaro rs 88: asl
YouCanRotInHell: 18/m/ny
Camaro rs 88: 24 f tx
Camaro rs 88: you have one
YouCanRotInHell: ive got an 84 camaro and an 84 trans am
Camaro rs 88: we had 84 till we burned it
YouCanRotInHell: you burned it?
Camaro rs 88: he had hydro in it and the cables caught on fire
Camaro rs 88: nitro not hydro
YouCanRotInHell: that sucks that stuff can be dangerous
Camaro rs 88: ins paid us off about 12 g
YouCanRotInHell: awesome, you could build a hell of a car for that kind of dough
Camaro rs 88: not really
Camaro rs 88: he put about 8 into a 85 chevy 4x4
YouCanRotInHell: i could build a nasty turbo smallblock for my car with that cash
YouCanRotInHell: whats that got for mods
Camaro rs 88: he spends all our money on f***in cars
Camaro rs 88: whats a turbo smallblock?
YouCanRotInHell: small block chevy, turbocharged, can make a ton of power
Camaro rs 88: he took out a diesel engin and built a 350 and had some shop do something to it before he bought new plunger things for it
YouCanRotInHell: awesome, our old truck has a 305 in it
Camaro rs 88: he orders stuff from badger and edelbrock alot and got the engine all krome
YouCanRotInHell: cool, oh well its late in ny im off to sleep

It appears this young lady has no idea what she is talking about.
But I can almost understand her Chip idea. I read on MSN a few months ago an article about how the camaro and Firebird died was because of the latest "50hp" chips that were everywheres.
The article said very bluntly that you can just go buy a chip for strap it on your stock Focus, or Civic and gain 50hp. Its sad because an article like this would be read by millions, and misleading to thousands who knew nothing.

Obviously she is trying to lead people on. Infact she might just be saying this crap sitting in her chair laughing at people who shes thinks is believing her every lie.

Some people just don't know how stupid it is to lie about something so trivial.

Stop wasting your time guys. There are women out there who can spell chrome and know that "a" and "lot" are separate words.

You got it, Joe. It's like a virus.
