Re: need say 20 hp
I get the part about you wanting more power, but the whole first sentence makes no sense to me. You were racing a Honda and winning when you think it had gas in it? Fallowed with no comma and "it just sounded odd." And why would this be the reason why you want more power?

Before some of you start ragging on the guy's post you should re-read some of your own and check the grammar and punctuation! Not everyone's a cunning linguist.

He just needs to make his posts readable. Most people on here aren't stunning linguists, but at least what they post is readable. I'm sure everyone here would be glad to help him once we understand what he wants.

Don't mean to further insult your intellegence, but could you re-write your whole first post? It would help us understand the problem. Or uh. The CAUSE of the problem.

Re: need say 20 hp
Despite the complete lack of any proper punctuation, I got what you were saying that time. But is there a question in there? Cause I think you've already fixed the problem. You put good gas in your car and got good performance.

Re: need say 20 hp
I noticed in your info it says you have a 3.4 with a super charger. Got any pics of that? I would be interested to see what it looks like as I was playing around with that idea for my car and was curious as to how it looks.

Re: need say 20 hp
Ok you have said "Cat" So I am guessing you are talking about your Catalytic converter?
well maybe you are losing power because you have a bad Catalytic converter.
That could be one solution.

Re: need say 20 hp
Hukd un foniks werkd fer mee.
All jokes aside ... nice tooth cousin ( sorry it was too easy not to say )
° Hondas are lighter.
° Most Hondas rev higher.
° Most Hondas are quicker off the line, while camaros will be faster. Over longer distance.
° Next time throw roofing nails in front of his ( please don't say a ***** chick beat you ) tires.
° Get A paintball gun, and load their window up at take off. ( I wil not be held responsible for any fatalities that may happen if you do this )
Most of all remember ... it's better to have someone THINK you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Re: need say 20 hp
im dave lol
and i got news for u unless u go turbo,or build a hybrid ur not going to get that fast
maybe with a fully done up 3.4 and a car that wieghs about 1600 pounds but thats it
<rant>
wanna go that fast with a v6 truth be told its not worth it, my v6 car will run high 11's with a gear change and a lil wieght taken out as my car sits its 3422 pounds, without driver. for the money most of u would spend to get ur v6 cars setup like mine u could build an n/a sbc 355 or sbc400 with afr heads and run just as fast cheaper.why??? because i did all my own work and dont pay for labor, if anyone of u guys had to pay for everything done to my car + full price for parts i bet u would be up over 10k
sure there are ppl that can do what i did on this board but truthfully the majority of the board doesnot have the fab skills or the tools required to make the v6 fast
</rant>
that said im picking up an s10 pickup, im going to build a nitrous motor for it

long tube headers

Re: need say 20 hp
It's just a joke.
I just think the way his words were posted deserved a little poking fun at.
Ok here's a joke for y'all ...
A man about 60 yrs old is driving down the highway, when a state trooper pulled up behind him.
The man speeds up to 80mph then 90mph, once he hits 110 the state trooper pulled him over.
When the pissed off officer asks why the man sped up when he saw the police car, the man said " 10 yrs ago my wife ran off with a state trooper, I thought you were trying to bring her back.

OUTCH! not sure what this has to do with the current thread though. This thread needs to be locked. Not that I'm not having fun with it, just that I think tis past the point of being benificial to the OP or other readers. But of course it has fo him to his question after running it so hard for us to take his wordes his gas after he at 55 got the car his friend put on him taking off.
