I've had the V-Force on my 2000 Mitsu Eclipse. JET said that I would get 10-15 HP. I had it dyno'd and did not see any gains. What modules like v-force do is that they tricks the computer into thinking there is more air coming in than there actually is. You can simply step on the throttle a...

Re: A limited slip dif... You're thinking of a locking differential when the two wheels are given the same amount of torque. Here's a quote from howstuffworks

Basically, a LSD transfers the power from the wheel that slip to the wheel that grip. Let's say you're taking a left turn at a pretty festive speed, your car rolls to the right which lifts up your inside(driver side) tires. As you step on the accelerator to power out of the turn, the inside...

You can always count on Triton to articulate his ever so enlightening points. "y0, itz maddtite cuz i butt hurt some dudes geo mETro cuz tRItonHEET0wNZU"

This is how I understand it: Exhaust gasses escape from the cylinders in pulses (High pressure). As each pulse travel through the exhaust pipes, it creates an area of vaccuum behind it (Low pressure). Since gas travels from area of high pressure to low pressure, the greater the difference in...

I'd say wait for the 03 GT...it's suppose to have 10-15 more HP from a variable length intake runners and have a new front facia. Check here: http://www.eclipseforums.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21353

My Eclipse is pretty slow..wanna go at it sometime with your MP3? ;)

The whole idea behind having higher octane gas is so that it more stable and does not detonate prematurely. With higher octane gas, you're able to advance the timing (up to a certain degree) on the car because there isn't any knock. The reason why the MP3 uses premium fuel is because the...

RT does not get added to the ET at all. The only time that it may come into play is if you're bracket racing. Perfect RT for the Sportsman tree (3 yellows in sequence before the green) is .5 secs while a .4 is perfect on a Pro Tree (3 yellows simultaneous and then green) <STRONG> I can't...

Reaction time has no impact on the ET. The timer does not actually start until you trip the lights. I think on his 16.7 run, his 60' time was around 2.4 secs.

http://www.gainesvilleraceway.com it looks like there won't be any test and tune for Gator Nationals.

The Test and Tune at Gainesville is this Saturday from 10:30am to 4:00pm if anyone's interested.

Hey, if the car looks fast, it's gotta be fast right? ;)
