Hi I have a problem looking just put some test pipes on my 370z but the check engine is on when I'm driving you spend a lot of gas and shift knob shakes a lot at low rpm and birds is above 1 rpm and sometimes almost reaches 1 / 2 rpm do not know why that happens, you may hear an we need

Oxygen Sensor Extension Bungs to prevent that? that I can help you plan to remove and put all stock

Your engine shakes because there are birds in it? Id suggest removing the birds in question

I think he fixed the problem himself by adding birds

lmfao, if the shift knob shakes, it hangs @ 1/2 rpm, you use a lot of gas and the CEL is on. I suggest returning to stock or it sounds like it could have been installed wrong.

that should do the trick, the FSM says when birds, particularly small birds can be added to lower octane gas if its the only thing available. Unicorn blood for oil tho

I thought you just place the birds on top of your engine, you don't actually add them to your gas.

flashburn · 05-17-2011, 10:40 AM

I just added a dove and a cardinal, and my butt dyno showed an increase of 15whp. I heard that a pelican + woodpecker is where the real gains are.

fairladyZ34 · 05-17-2011, 11:01 AM

i dont have any pelicans readily available. Out of Stock. Group buy?

Econ · 05-17-2011, 11:02 AM

ugh you guys are really ignorant sometimes.

you put the bird in front of the CAI/Radiator to increase air flow... think about it, how would adding it to gas help, its a breather mod.

fairladyZ34 · 05-17-2011, 11:06 AM

Can i replace my air filter with them?

Econ · 05-17-2011, 11:11 AM

of course, just make sure you get the right size

flashburn · 05-17-2011, 11:28 AM

Anyone want to trade a woodpecker for a dove? I can throw in a red herring as well (increases mpg if mixed in with oil).
