No im not a "troll", you troll name callers can go back to your bridges though. yello, is that possible to do? how would it stay connected. I got an injen sri. I dont think it would reach unles I used the cai pipe too.

Anyway my ac idea was to get one of those poor man ac units that people put in home windows, since the stock ac is very weak. somehow hook this up to go to the cabin and engine, so not only is my in cabin experience elevated, my engine will be cooler, thus providing for longevity. But as I said, i rather do the engine thing, as i am not sure this would work, and thats for a different time.

You good sir, just gave yourself away

I commend the effort though, and congratulate on a job well done.

Same here, I've gotten the car over 40mpg just wish a lot of tuning and some other little things.

but I vote, if you are planning on making the car slower, one of the forum members that lives near you needs to come to your house, bitch slap you, and take you car keys away.

thanx bye bye

How about I give you my 08 LS for your 05 SS?

Fair trade and it'll make everyone happy. I'm just saying.

Alright here we go...for starters...get Paul Walker to drive your car so the floor boards fall out. then i say you rip your engine and tranny out completely...just leave the bare necessities.

and following your past trends...keep gutting the car.

Next is get a good pair of running shoes. insert feet into shoes. use feet to propel the car while sitting down....Flintstones style!

cuz if you wanna get technical about it...that is no gas at all. Pretty sweet idea IMO
