Yah I listed it at $4000 'cause I didn't want to sell it, but wanted to see who was interested. It's not worth $4000 lol.

If you don't buy it I'll have a new trans soon that's geared and better. 2000 RPM at 65 MPH. With that and the front grille setups I should be in the upper 40's to low 50's in MPG

And this is "ideal":

Rick is there any negative impact on cooling?! And "lmao" at the fact that we could of totally fabbed something way better then duct tape.

Im well aware its not worth 4k. I also like how you edited both of those posts. Nice touch. I remember when I first joined this forum there was someone whos signature was a quote that said "I hate all of PAfirefighter11's posts". For some reason I have to agree.

Steve, that's exactly the point! This is not only an aero mod, but is to help the engine heat up quicker and keep that operating temp in cooler and warmer weather. A warm engine at operating temp is going to produce better FE than a cold one. Cold engines produce better power. You know this!

On my Trans Ams and Jeep I have cold air intakes or Ram Air. On the Honda I'll be doing a warm air intake. The duct tape is a test. If it works to the level I want we'll be doing some plastic welding or fiberglass :D
