  1. I asked my question because of your comment, "you would have to spin them all to hell on the 3.3 just to see any results." You are describing a turbo, not a large roots-style blower.
  2. Winston cup rules are 12.5to1 That's a 700+hp engine. How did he come accross it?
  3. Jeg's mini high-torque. I have had one on my 11.5+ to 1 motor for a couple years. It rotates any direction you need it to around its billet base. Cheap for the performance.
  4. A longer bolt through the trans rail with a washer and lock nut can be used if you stripped the threads. (temp fix)
  5. Ditto. In a pinch, several washers stacked can be used to create the spacer.
  6. No, Greg, they do not cover it. He is NOT a company-owned location. He gets a better rate than other small businesses due to the large number of privately-owned stores involved in the same agreement. This is my family's business; I know it inside and out. The percentage comes STRAIGHT out of his wallet. He refuses to take AmEx because they are a FULL % higher.
  7. Not so much. Sorry. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_mars_encounter.htm
  8. Ram - 14 / 20mpg GTO - 18 / 24mpg S10 - 6-8mpg Mean Streak - 20-45mpg, depending on how far the butterflies open Stratus ~25mpg combined
  9. Maybe a setting in your ECU telling the compresser to unlock under certain temps and/or conditions? Maybe the ECU is killing the auxilary AC fan at low temps, causing your poor AC performance? Condition of your coolant will not affect your AC system.
  10. Read 'The Universe Next Door' by Marcus Chown if you would like to add a dozen different ways of looking at the universe to your daily life. It should be read for 50% entertainment value and 50% research.
  11. I wanted to share a Messenger conversation I just had with dad. For those that do not know, he owns a gas station in Zanesville. I wanted to remind everyone that the next time you fill up and give the station employer crap about the prices, or ask stupid shit like, "how do you sleep at night", that now, more than ever, the little guys out there are NOT making a killing. They are losing their asses. Vince says: Your cost go up today? Fred says: Cost has gone up every day this week. Vince says:What is your price on reg? Fred says: Street Price $2.89 Vince says: What does it cost you today? Fred says: $2.85 Vince says: Nice. Greedy bastard. That is $.04 a gallon he's making today. And before you say, "yeah, but he sells x,000 gallons a day", remember this - 75% of people use credit cards now. He has to pay 2-3% fees to accept those cards. That means, that today, he is making $.04 and it's costing him $.06 per gallon. Couple that with people conserving more and driving less (which is a good thing), the small station owners are taking it in the rear right now. So, direct your bitching to companies that are posting RECORD profits, not to these folks. I see this ignorant bitching first-hand every Saturday. Hope this enlightened someone.
  12. 220, 3 phase, vs 110 or 220 single phase

  15. You can not sell a car that is in their name. Look at it from their side. What do they have to show for a car they still own if you "sell" it, and then stop paying? This is locked. An admin can unlock if they disagree.
  16. You are trying to sell a car you do not own yet? It is in someone else's name? Please explain who or what has the lien, or this is getting locked.
  17. I don't either. Luckily, I do have 1 good friend who is an electrician, and 1 good friend who is a hydraulics buff. I am not planning on leaving it 3 phase. The bad news is the guy has not replied. I am wondering if they are sold.
  18. No. Actually, it puts me 1.5 hours closer. http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&un=m&cl=EN&qq=m4ZeC4eEaUhE%252bIRLsEKubSF%252fCtIG6b%252fM9Htj%252bH9t3pYx1gpxYGWwJgEPMY%252fcUgSNFB0IZlUenkOnACx9vy5vgJKTGB0I%252fTNASf5%252bTLMSGN7WsCM7szt4GIdQyN%252bCoZfaMvQIOKNMnsQE2IMpI9fTPg%253d%253d&ct=NA&rsres=1&1y=US&1ffi=&1l=36W688fiHac%253d&1g=BmA9ILwg6IM%253d&1pl=&1v=CITY&1n=&1pn=&1a=&1c=Newark&1s=OH&1z=&2y=US&2ffi=&2l=&2g=&2pl=&2v=&2n=&2pn=&2a=&2c=Chicago&2s=IL&2z=&panelbtn=2 http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&mo=ma&2si=gaz&un=m&cl=EN&qq=IEaKSvfsRsq5g4lrcIFMtMCZ%252bbHeRawU68RHDtMJpRWLv5E24gabrbsM1n545ILIUzauwmlEA%252b9fZN0c2F%252f5KKbrgsnVysiWbDB9ZLaH4rQfdY3A4aw0eymcgz60wd0YokMXESOdH%252bmpoG3SGPyjYWwFkhbAwNOlX4YNrhPYnBF%252f4Fh%252bTY66IAhzofCfsQiQccg0InRZYmyMD%252faNRg3D4P4Iiffz4aoUE5M8VMf%252beblj8JXdaxtu9jC7ob1c184u&ct=NA&2rc=A5XAX&did=1152825027&rsres=1&1y=US&1ffi=&1l=&1g=&1pl=&1v=CITY&1n=&1pn=&1a=&1c=Cincinnati&1s=OH&1z=&panelbtn=1&2y=US&2ffi=&2l=bxEBbh3Nvws%253d&2g=Fzzj2Jq9spY%253d&2pl=&2v=CITY&2n=Cook+County&2pn=&2a=&2c=Chicago&2s=IL&2z=
