IHADAV8 Playground / Saw a big rattler

« on: April 16 2011, 09:24:26 AM »

We've got a strain - Massassauga rattler that is this far north. As a teen I was on the lake headin' to the outhouse. Good thing I had bare feet 'cuz that was the only reason I was watching where I was going and was the only thing that stopped me from stepping on it.

Living north of 7...bare feet...outhous e...and no indoor plumbing. Doesn't surprise me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz9jL3YNX-0

SM numbers would help...and get under the car and verify you have a D5 convertor. There's a huge difference between 18 and 24 PSI of boost with a 44.

Sounds good. Now what about guys like me who don't understand Translator Pro?

I get up this morning and I can hear this pounding noise coming from inside the furnace. I pull the cover off it and I can't see anything that could making the noise. I follow the piping that runs over to the chimney...and that's where the noise is emanating from. I had a steel cap installed over the chimney vent years ago to keep the birds and other wildlife out. I have a one and a half storey house...and the chimney prolly rises another ten feet higher over the peak in the roof. I go outside and look up...and there's a woodpecker pounding on the steel cap I had installed. The drunken son of a whore! WTF!!!

I hacked at the tuning section again this morning...thre w out some old stuff and tried to update it a bit....got some more ideas but, I get to going in circles after a bit.

I am trying to do it ala An idiots guide...but I can never get it dumb enuf

After 25 years of Buicks, it all seems too simple to me and I find it hard to go thru the thought process.

heck, at my age, I cannot go thru any thought process...even simple ones like buy milk when you buy Oreos

I guarantee you'll never get it dumb enuf for me. Seriously tho, I've been checking it out and you've done a great job of updating it.

I don't know....I never saw how one was made.

The straight thru style with no internal louvers are the best flowing available.

The biggest issue I see at the shop is cars running incorrectly. When these cars show up at the shop...tuning is way down the list of priorities. Thanks for everything you do tho Steve. I'm very appreciative.

Ultraflow, magnaflow, one of the Pypes mufflers, maximum flow, or Aerochamber

Steve, what's the closest match on the market today for the Pitbulls that ATR used?
