Real Performance from a V6 Vortec!!

He works on them for a livin . WE work on them first to keep from having to pay guys like him . He fixes our F****k ups and the rest of the problems and the little things that go bump in the night when old ladies are driving home from church at night .

Since when does a better flowing exhaust and intake harm any engine over time?.......

Your 95 would not be effected by the changes as much as a newer models . BUT the intake and exhaust will effect the fuel mixure ratio and ignition timing and WILL over time wear out internal parts prematurely . Lean mixture will cause it to run hotter in the combustion chamber and will burn an aluminum piston . Spark advance or retard will cause detonation which will wear out the rod bearings .We don't know enough about these things to argue about it . So have a beer and relax . Everyone has their opinion . Of course , some places you aren't allowed to voice it . But here we can . My opinion , you want reliability ,leave it OEM . I personally can't keep my hands off of it . Its my hobby . It keeps the parts stores in business . Rob

WoW! Ya'll destroyed that guy!! I think that if you take your money, purchase your vehicle, take it home, and have your title, then you can do what you want to it!! If people can't modify their vehicles, why are there so many aftermarket parts? Car makers make cars for the masses. What works for me ,might not work for a ninety year old woman, they have to find a happy medium and also apease the corporate lawyers. Almost all cars come from the factory detuned. Look at our Blazers. If i'm wrong will someone please clarify? the 95 to 97 engines were rated at 190hp, the 97 to 99 were rated at 170hp, and the 2000 and above are rated at 190hp, due to a new computer program, I mean what gives? almost all advancements in the automotive world are made in the racing divisions. And then trickle down to the other models. We live in a litages world! Lawsuits and big oil dictate what cars we have. Look at how many supposedly fuel efficient cars are out now. I have over 248hp at the rear wheels, and with slop from the drivetrain, i am well over 300hp,and that was over 6 months ago, before the supercharger and I still get about 15mpg in the city! With performance you make things more efficient! I am going to get a new dyno soon for a tuning and to find out my new numbers.

I really don't see how he was "destroyed". MT-2500 made some valid points, and was responded to with personal attacks and childish behavior. This may seem cool to some, but I can assure you that the more mature forum members were not impressed. It seems that some people (no matter how many times that they are told) can't comprehend the fact that the forums are for intelligent discussions, and that in an environment such as this with people from all walks of life.... there will be differences of opinions and everyone's opinions should be respected. Although MT-2500 started out by harshly putting down your opinion, he quickly realized that he was wrong for doing so, apologized, and began to explain why he felt that way. There are others here that take it personally everytime that someone offers a different view of something. These people make a habit of trying to turn the forums into a pissing contest, and trying prove that they have the biggest ePenis.

MT-2500, I don't believe that you need to be concerned with being flamed. The majority of the members of this board are intelligent enough to know when they are being blindly led down the path of immaturity. The majority of the members here understand that not everyone sees things the same way, and they know that someone shouldn't be attacked for offering their views. However, I'm sure that you can expect to have a lot of people disagree with you.

Personally, I see what you're talking about, but believe that the factory exhaust systems do have too much restriction. I understand that the restriction is accounted for in the programming, however I believe that the engine would see more benifit from lowering the back pressure a little, even if this meant that the "tune" would be a little off. I absolutely agree that people shouldn't get carried away and try to open the exhaust up too much, this has a negative effect all the way around, not only does it throw off all the calibrations, but it can also cause a decrease in performance due to reduced engine scavenging capabilities.

There's my anyone want to be immature and attack me for it?

Free speech, opinions, and frank discussions, everything that I like about this forum and not to mention knowledge and information!! As for the reprogramming of the ECU, I am sending mine out to F.a.s.t. I also forgot to mention that once you start your more expensive modifications. Here are a few simple rules. #1 Change your address for the credit cards to go to your Brothers house. #2 Hide all of the Knives in the house. #3 If you have rolling pins, cast iron pots or pans hide them also. #4 Jewelry! Will calm the savage beast! #5 Last and the most important, KNOW WHEN TO STOP!!

Blazee, at least I have the guts to say what I want to say when someone calls me a ricer raceboy. If you call that an apology then you need to start reading the whole thread again.

And what is with the higher than almighty angel attitude? You are acting like you are god or something? Hinting around about me without having the guts to say my name. Go ahead, I know you want to. You always run to someone's rescue if they are confronted to me so you can look all noble even through they basically called you a kid for doing the modifactions. Pretty pathetic in my mind.

When someone insults the forums members here calling us a bunch of kid moron tuners for playing with our engine than we have ever right to retort strongly. His claim was arrogant and demeaning and he deserved it righht back in his face.

Bigger ePenis, at least I speak my mind and don't run around lecturing people like I am some sort or authority figure.

Offering their views by calling us a bunch of Honda ricer tune wannabes? Thanks for sticking up for us and thanks for sticking up for someone insulting your fellow member.

You see, now you can state your mind and then if anyone defends theirself then it is an immature attack?

We all understand tastefully done work.

What we are having a problem with is people claiming us to be the ricers with the rims and fart can on a 84 accord thinking we have more power.

It is just demeaning and completely insulting to all of us in this section that put a lot of time trying to get more power from their trucks.

Regardless of what other whiney forums members say, we have the right to throw opinions back in the faces of arrogant people trying to make us all out as idiots hurting our trucks.

I need to update my page because I changed out my cat with a hi flow cat so it sounds better at higer RPMs now. No metallic "rice" sounds. I will do that this weekend. Over all the exhaust work cost me about $200 for new muffler and cat to be put on, that is total including parts. Not a bad deal. Muffler only cost me $75.

geeze this is great....

It's kinda like the herpes that show up years after they were caught...

You don't know how it happened, but even though no one wants to, now everyone has to look at it and GOD ITS UNSIGHTLY.

Seriously, and with all due respect, you guys need to stick to your positive contributions to the board and then shut up.

[billibong]

I personally appreciate hearing various different opinions from members of this forum. That is what makes this forum, and others like it, what they are. Everyones opinion should be respected and at least contemplated. I feel that I have learned a lot reading other members contributions and, as I have said in previous posts, thanks to the members for their assistance in dignosing problems and doing repairs based on input and info from other members.
That being said, most of the members of this forum are intelligent and concientious of what they put on the boards. Any individual who is thinking of doing work on, modifying or changing out systems in their vehicle should research any decisions prior to implementing them. There are lots of sources of information, one being forums such as this, available on the internet, via certified mechanics at shops, dealerships or parts stores, and our local libraries. Make sure, by doing the research, that what the end results you are looking for are actually what you are going to get.
I hope that this doesn't offend anyone or cause anyones ego to feel they are being attacked. I only offer this as an opinion and it is in no way directed as an attack at anyone, and I offer it with respect to everyone on this forum. Again, thank you all for your help at various times with questions that I have had.
