A lot of set-ups do it like BradC showed. F1 cars inject the fuel above the velocity stacks.

Higher fuel pressure in order to get better fuel atomization and higher compression ratios are also used.

Actually Mitsubishi was the first company to produce a DI engine. GM did a lot of research on it in the 1980-90's until the project was put on hold. Mitsu stepped in where GM left off and was able to bring it to production. The injectors shoot a very fine mist of fuel, which requires very...

I would have to agree with mikeyb. Having driven both a track model Z and a GTO I would have to say the GTO have a much nicer interior.

It's a mechanical system. When there's enough pressure to open the wastegate it opens. I fail to see how the gear you're in is effecting that. I see nothing like that on my car.

Boost isn't going to change from gear to gear without an EBC that has that function.

That he appears to be on an access road next to a public park with his car rolled over and on a fence with apparently no one else involved in the wreck. (nothing visable) I have no sympathy for people that are doing stupid crap on public roads which is exactly what it appears he was doing. Plus...

Yeah, the airbags shouldn't and won't go off in this kind of crash anyway. ps Whoever it was looks retarded.

the VUE engine is a 3.5L Honda v6. Not the CRV motor. They bought engines from Honda in exchange for Diesels GM sold to them.

Read post #7. I beat ya to it.

This is no different then having the clothes, electronics, shoes, etc. that you buy made over seas. Every company is outsourcing to other countries for cost savings.

Exactly. Spring rate is not what you should pay attention to. Wheel rates should always be considered.

Also, with struts toe can change significatly under compression and rebound. With stiffer springs you're limiting the suspension travel and your toe won't change as much. You'll have an easier time setting up the car too. Also, with the reduced body roll you won't need as much negative camber...

Looks a lot like the Buick Blackhawk from a few years ago. :thumbsup:

No, but there are kits on the way. Yeah, the car's a little heavy, but it doesn't feel like 4100 lbs when you're behind the wheel. That car is extremely fun to drive.

It has all of those.

Incorrect. They will most likely be the same diameter. The limiting factor there is the size of the intake port on the head and the OEM will design the port and the runner to match up as best they can with manufacturing tolerances with either set-up. [/i] But you're still breathing through the...

yes, it's me. I got a package last week and I'm currently sifting through everything. I will be trying to do a run of brackets before January. I'll keep you updated when production gets sorted out.

No, not really, because one runner length is not optimal for every rpm. That's proven fact. Dual runner manifolds allow you to optimize for two rpm ranges so you can have a flatter curve. That dyno chart was to show you that dual runners do work on FI cars, since you claimed that one runner...

Guy in Cleveland already beat you to the punch. He's running a 10 sec Colt. I'll post the link to his vid in a bit Edit: Here's the link. http://thelotspot.com/videos/coltboostin10_7.wmv
