dont talk down to me either you little bitch. i know more about engines then you could ever imagine. yah why doesnt he take off his exhaust that way he'll run 13's. man what a moron. heard of something called backpressure? ill let you figure that one out on your own. oh and about the 272 degree cam. that would require an entirely new valvetrain, not to mention it would idle like crap. this guy wants to be able to drive his car everyday and be comfortable.
First off im not TELLING him to do ne thing im simply giving him my 2 cents, and to get a 272 cam he does not need a completely new valve train, it will go right in, I know because ive helped do it.

BACKPRESSURE, HAHAHAHA you dont want ne backpressure.

Backpressure is the most widely mis-used terms there is.

"THE TRUTH OF BACKPRESSURE"

Backpressure is used on engines to

(1) help with fuel economy
(2) help with meeting emissions laws

On a tuned high performance engine Backpressure is not needed in fact Backpressure will hinder HP gains. There was a test done in SCC car magazine where they did a header comparison on a B18C in a Acura Integra and guess what just for fun they did a dyno run with no header at all. The run with out a header made more gains threw out the full RPM range than any header they tested. Now keep in mind no header no Backpressure.

Now you say you dont give advice unless your completely sure, well i suggest that you go back and do more reading because obviously you do not know what your talking about, now im not saying your stupid or ne thing im simply stating that you dont know everything, you claim to.

especially when he has full interior, big system, and a body kit.
Maybe if you read my posts a little closer i said if he dropped some weight he could get into the 13's I NEVER said he could do it with full interior.
