Mother-nature-given HP?

cab83_750 · 12-14-2009, 09:20 PM

So summer is over and along with it the dreaded sluggishness it had on our 370s.

How are you guys enjoying the responsiveness? I do!

What can we do next summer to have this kind of power from our cars? A little addition of oxygenated fuel? EPROM upgrade?

Oh if you live where you can't really drive your car (snow, ice, etc) well ......

... this was covered some time ago. Reduct your A/C directly into the intake. Make sure you split it to both sides otherwise the side with the A/C will make more HP and the wheel on that side will turn faster and spin the car out. You can vary the amount of extra power with the fan control. If you've got a 6MT you can change it to an automatic by switching the fan to AUTO.

I like your thinking here. Now if I could just find a way to run the coolant around the drink cup I can keep my coffee warm.

Keep them ideas a coming!!

Nogood this is a great business opportunity for you - you can gather cans of chilled air and sell them in the summer as a performance mod - better than Nitro! Make sure you make stickers as well - the bigger the better - you'll make more money on the stickers than the product - Win/Win.

PS - You might want to go to Edmonton for the highest performing air in North America right now ;P
