    Dyno tuned last week

    It was around 72 deg's that day with the wind, but the dyno is inside, so not sure what the inside temp was. It's North Carolina so it is NEVER dry :) I do know after several hard pulls (engine hot), the numbers dropped to around 445. 463 was the best one.

    Dyno tuned last week

    Bob, What's been your experience with 4.30's S/C? I was considering 4.10's but after reading a bit there seemed to be a camp that put forth a dissuasive argument against on a S/C car. Although I also see you've done quite a bit of suspension work so perhaps that's the key to keeping the...

    Dyno tuned last week

    Excuse the format...Scanner is on the kaput, so quick and dirty photo work....I've e-mailed them for the A/F chart as I'd like to see where that is as that's imperative to a safe tune. I didn't think anything about a 460 tune, so now you got me worried :) However, these guys are THE ford...

    Dyno tuned last week

    Yes Stock Pulley, that much I know.... I'm going to assume stock throttle body and non-ported Trilogy as I purchased the car with the Trilogy kit already installed and there was no mention of this which I assume are 'extra's? You'll have to forgive my ignorance...I'm from Turbo Buick heritage...

    Dyno tuned last week

    Took my '03A Trilogy to Fastlane Motorsports after having new Stainlessworks Longtubes, Magnaflow x-tube and high flow cats and new 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust. After realizing that the boost pump was turned off (d'oh) pulled a respectable 463 RWHP/428 Torque. No other real mods to the car and...

    Bluerauder takes a Hit on the Way Home Tonight

    You're lucky you weren't hurt....I was following a SUV behind a Semi once when a retread cut loose and went right through the guys windshield. The whole windshield shattered and dropped into the front seat on top of the driver and his girl. He nearly lost it but was able to pull over to the...

    Not so poor....

    Yes because you are presumably paying sales tax on your purchase. We'll take a simplified example: A man invests $1000 to build a new engine. He then sells it to you for $2000. He pays 15% on the $1000 profit (could be corporate tax but for simplification assume cap gains) You pay 8% sales...

    Not so poor....

    Loss deductions are capped and profits are not....So already, the tax is skewed. As for double taxation, it can be argued that it is....profit/interest on which you are paid is usually a result of whatever stock/bond you own increasing in value because the company earned more. Well, when the...

    Not so poor....

    Of course we all have....However, I think we can also all agree, that with the exception of police, fire, armed services and the transportation infrastructure, most of the benefits the working class has received has been at a cost greater than what could have been achieved had we had our own...

    Not so poor....

    You're right....Capital gains tax is unfair....It should be 0. Why should I pay 15% tax on money I already paid tax for when I earned it? We are taxed to death....literally. I work hard and earn a salary....Tax my salary. I take some of my salary and buy a car....Sales Tax on my Car. If...
