He is choaking that cam without headers. I bet he could take off .1-.3 easy with a cheap set of long tubes. Thats the first power mod I would do on an NA build.

Absolutely and I agree with you on that line of enjoyable versus not. I think for a new edge, 11/low 12 is a great running car while still being enjoyable and streetable.

For some reason I kind of like the way the 3v's sound. I dont know why. I really like the sound of the Roush Extreme system. Add in some cams and I love it.

I've done that before. Thought I was pretty clever ;) Then again I've also tightened an intake hose clamp on the side of the turnpike with a dime so I'm always trying to be mcguyver.

That's true on the street at normal street speeds, but on the highway more power can mean a ton more fun ;) I could easily use another 200HP.

Oh and regarding power, now that it's cold out I actually believe my m3 puts out 350HP. It didn't in the hot summer that's for sure, but now it hauls serious ass. I need an aftercooler so it doesn't have to pull timing so badly in the summer.

I'd love to have a 10 second street car haha. the base ls3 can run high 11's stock. i'd probably see 10's with what i eventually want to do, break 500rwhp. which is easy to do with cams, headers, exhaust, and tune. kapow

Jim, can you make a forum section that only awesome memebers can get into and view? It would be cool to enjoy a place where only people that actually know a little something about cars can post. Maybe actual technical discussions could happen.

That would be awesome, but getting anything done around here is nearly impossible.

But if Laqueefah had only her own section to post in, and no other sections, I dont think they'd be too happy. hahahahahaha
