q-tip Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Those air cleaner tops that have the filter in them actually make less horse power than a regular filter top, and they looks like crap.....needs more chrome... Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm confused. I said you were right. So... :rofl: Sorry Freak, maybe I'm the one confused. I thought the little guy shaking his head meant No. But let's not drift off topic here... Did you really chrome you engine bay? How much more power did you get? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Did you really chrome you engine bay? How much more power did you get? -6 Newton meters. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 -6 Newton meters. But it adds kw 1 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hear you need a blingostatometer to measure units of chromenergy. Pretty sure Smoke's got one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 ProCharger? WTF... This shit may be old hat to you guy's but I'm trip'n right the fuck out on this thing. It's a what? "direct gear driven turbine centrifugal supercharger". Talk about a weiner extention. I want one of these hang'n out the front of my 510. Then those big V8 guys won't tease me in the showers any more. 2 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Or, just stick with a turbo. 1 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's purely a matter of size Smoke, because every car guy knows... that hella matters. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Or, just stick with a turbo. Probably need 300hp just to turn that damn thing Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Perhaps a pony motor to spin it. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 No shit, "that's the moter that turns the blower fer ma moter" Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dude if it's that big it's got tp be good. It's the Texan's principle of size over logic. 1 Quote Link to comment

Then those big V8 guys won't tease me in the showers any more. F&$K a turbo! That is original, and bad ass! Especially where they placed it so it will pull air from the ram air hood! Although I would think they are using the 4" rise aftermarket version... Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's a 557 cubic inch alcohol engine, made a little over 1600 hp. Not bad, but these days, does not really blow my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Turbo lag :D What I will be impressed with is a small motor with big BHP and Gets 35-40 MPG. Gas electric hybrid stuff ;) Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 While not a hybrid yet, it has been done. ecoboost is over 300 hp and gets over 30 mpg. The new vett (I don't like vetts for the record) can crack out a 12 second 1/4 mile and reel in 37 mph if hypermiled. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/fuel-economy/taking-the-2014-chevy-corvette-on-a-fuel-economy-run-16686407 For that matter, my 7500 lbs pickup gets 25 mpg empty. So we are getting closer to good, but not there yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

So we are getting closer to good, but not there yet. That's the stuff that impresses me. Efficient power over huge digit power. Fastest From point A to point B while using the least amount of energy is the challenge I like seeing. The 25 mpg in the old truck is impressive. Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Holy shit/\ that's some serious carrot juice. this whole Mercedes diesel conversion is such a joke. Quote Link to comment

Daaaaaahmn! 12 second quarter mile at 37mph! Not even sure how a quantum physicist would pull that off. Props to Chevy! And thank you Obama. The hare showed us that it could be done, and we finally got it. Quote Link to comment
