Who the f*ck cares?

We are not even talking about the motor. All we are discussing is the intake manifold. What are you going to do, saw one in half?
Well, you can mix and match auto/manual engine parts to get different outcomes on a single rotor motor and a single rotor wont push your car around very well, the reason I mentioned it is im pretty sure its gona make this fun to drive especialy with a blower

Yeh, I find it amusing at times myself. It pisses away a few hours a day and gives me a chance to hold down the couch.

Well now................haven't been in this thread for months, and I suddenly realize why I don't come in here much anymore. Too difficult to find any good info between all the crap.

"G", saw you pulled like 281rwhp and Juan was right about 330rwhp.
Is the only difference the larger pulley and injectors he's running.

Jeff--seriously, what the hell are you doing?

You're kidding, right? Do you read what gets said in here, or just have a knee-jerk reaction to how its said?

I have NO idea how that is a relevant parable in the context that you are suggesting it, but the gift always belongs to the recipient or it wasn't a gift.
Why do you think I even bother to help you people?

For the most part, this thread is rife with ignorance and ingratitude.
The level to which folks here will drop to belittle the messenger to diminish the message is simply impossible to believe.

I have nothing to gain here. None of the participants in this thread are gonna buy anything I'm selling - literally or figuratively.
If anyone here really believes I contribute here to bolster my ego, you need only look how I'm treated here to dispel that misconception.
Even the few here that have directly benefited from the things I've contributed are required to treat me as a pariah as to not lose their cool-dude status in this tiny, tiny clique.

So, sit there and contemplate to whom this gift does belong and why its given.

Juan also has headers, but most of that power increase was from the 5" pulley and the bigger injectors.

And don’t forget to mention that I spent the previous night at a Holiday Inn Express.

and it seems that help could be offered without personnel attacks IF that person who is offering help really wants people to listen to what they have to say.
I always like to remember that there usually is more than one way of doing things and "best" is relative.
Learning to dicuss something without insults/aggressive remarks is the only way any"teacher" will get a point across and remember the teacher is not above learning themselves. If they think they are then they are already antiquated. (yes I know I dont spell everything correctly).
Jeff if you didnt understand the relavance of my para then you need to think about it some more.
Enough, I am done.

Its interesting to me that the perception here is that:

1) I am the one starting the insults and personal attacks; and
2) That the only people I am trying to help are the nimrods that are so vocal in this thread.

Remember - for every big-mouthed, cretinous fanbois here, there are (and will be) two that are out there absorbing this stuff and doing their own thinking.

I think the idea that I am the one starting these exchanges stems from the fact that I am so superior at it that the original post is eclipsed.
But I suggest that you look at any of my most "offensive" posts, back up a few posts and see who and what actually started it.
Ultimately, I love this sort of stuff because its funny.

.
this is true - having been the target for your sarcasim in the past made me realise I just need to chill out and concentrate on the discussion at hand . I realised this is how you disarm your opponent .
Some of the guys in this thread need to realise this as well ....

Yes!

You know, I think the problem is that none of the folks in this thread have ever been the guest of honor at a good, old fashioned, New York-style roast.

So what would one of those be in terms that make sense to me?

Cheers,

A NY style roast is when a bunch of people get together to celebrate someone else's life or career by poking fun at them. The problem with his analogy is that the people doing the roasting are liked and respected by the roastee, and the roastee gets to roast back in the end without the roasters crying like little girls and putting him on their ignore list.

It's pretty arrogant to think that we would care to put up with a bunch of BS to get a !@#$ing breadcrumb of opinionated information from someone that we can get from someone else sans BS.

Anyway, here's what is important. We're making even more power safely with our supercharger setup:

Also, don’t forget to add over 10,000 miles since self-install of the kit, countless autocross events, several sustained 130+ mph sprints and on the original engine.

I have ~16,400 supercharged miles, a dozen or so autocross events, and a few dragrace events, but I've only had a few sustained 120+mph sprints

Also still on the original engine, still running as strong as ever, and it still brings a smile to my face every time I turn the key or mash the accelerator. Once I get the pulley and those injectors I'm going to need a muscle relaxant for my face.
