UH-OH. 'Nother 0.1% increase in throttle response????:)
time to invest in new tires with that output...zoom zoom:smilegray
.1% x .1% x .1% x.1% - a whole whopping 4.0% increase - because Tom sucks at math!
now now boys, everyone knows that if you really want to add hp and throttle response you need to use these http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...oiler_0050.jpg
now nobody can keep up with me!
I just put gell inserts in my shoes to get the same effect. I can't tell that I'm pressing on the gas any harder but the increase in acceleration is phenominal.:)
Zeus - Shoulda told you earlier, my mantra is: No horse is so dead that it can't be beat one more time.
BTW, my math is great: I work 8-10 hours, I multi-task so I'm logged on here for 2-4 hours each day so I must work at least 10 to 14 hours of each day.
BTWA, if you keep her washed & waxed, less air friction= another 0.1% increase in throttle response (but only at highway speeds).
Eric - What're those? Your spoiler have Zits?:)
i put my 3 300 pound friends in my rig .so it rides lower to the ground..
les. wind under car .better performance..I think i gain .04% ..but for some reason my milage sux????:p:p:p
At that rate you should have a post rate of .1% a day because your hours per day would almost double. And if you look at it that way, you have the fastest VX in the world! ...Or is it the slowest..? Yep, it's the slowest. I admit it, I suck at math.Quote:

Yup - 'Difference is ... I make it look good.' (MIB)
Eric,
Just kidding about the spoiler zits.:) They actually look nice. Are they lights or reflectors or just bling?
Tom
Vortex generators.....but they only begin to work at 97mph. They flatten the roostertails in the rain.
OK. I can forgo that pleasure. Mine's never been over 85mph.
just bling lol i took the wheels off of carin's del sol over to pep boys to get new tires mounted and i got really bored waiting because it took them over an hour and they told me it would be like 20 min so in my boredom i wandered and came across them.. originally i was thinking of matching the fangs on the hood insert with them but they didnt mock up as well as id hoped.. so i didnt want to waste 4.99 lol so i stuck em up on the spoiler.. i like them up there now.. just a small detail nobody really noticesQuote:

It actually speeds up the exhaust by venturi effect - put one on my diesel motorhome also and the results were really amazing there.
