First off, why are you talking **** about my car? Because it's not a Camaro? Very childish!! If you really must know what kind of car I drive I will tell you. I own a 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Yep, GS, NON-TURBO.....But ****, i've added a turbocharger. When I ran 12's I was pushing 12psi on stock internals. Now I have a fully rebuilt engine and i'm running 25psi with 102octane race fuel. 15psi daily. Next mod is a 100-shot just to spool the turbo at the track and a larger turbo. I'm planning on the Super20G. What do you think about the matter? I actually like the Camaro. I've been working on a 69 SS for sometime now. All and all, it's going pretty damn well and I should be trying to start it up next summer. 12's is honestly child's play and semi-fast. I'm hoping on 9's with full interior, 30psi and 100shot. There you go, now you know my story. I really couldn't care less if you believe me or not but not believing is just denial.

Your car looking better is an opinion. You like what you like, I like what I like. I believe that's called **** talking right there. I see we have shut our mouth now that you know your not talking to some idiot that owns a Honda and puts more "look like it goes fast" **** on their car than actually modifications. I said Camaro's suck *** because it was a complete pain in the *** to work on. Everything so crammed to hell. People have a hard time doing simple mods like ignition wires and plugs. Give me a break. THAT'S A PAIN IN THE *** and you know it. I think I got 2 mature responses to that thread that I posted. Maybe if you would have taken the time to read the bottom of that post you might have saw the statement. "I'm sorry if any of you take this the wrong way but i'm just venting." Just because the title pissed you off you completely overlooked what I had to say and apparently if your amazing IQ, didn't realize I wasn't being a ****. I actually wanted to know if people had the same problems with theirs. Maybe you should have read that, huh? As for going to a dyno, just to check your air/fuel mixtures. Come on now, a dyno is meant for serious tuning. The use of gauges is a much better method for the average person. They can monitor their air/fuel mixtures 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and for many years to come. Of course the wideband will be more accurate. That's something you do on race day so your car will be in perfect running condition. Stuff changes, people have problems all the time and air/fuel mixtures change on a constant basis. The use of gauges is much better for the everyday street racer. Not the 100% drag racers. Think about it, you might actually see that I am correct in this instance. Why don't you AIM me and we can settle this like adults. I don't think it needs to be broadcasted for everyone to see us act like children. toykilla911 is my AIM. Nice day to you sir.

This thread is about as gay as toykilla's girlfriend's boyfriend!

The ONLY way to get *real, accurate* readings for a/f is by a true wideband meter, whether it is on a dyno or not.

Go invest some money in an FJO Wideband. www.fjoinc.com

Case closed!

...yep, and this is the same person who sells a $5 plumbing kit from Homo Depot for $45 to people to increase their boost. See the pic here:



Directly from his so called "Performance Site":

Check the values at WOT at stock boost levels and then slowly increase the boost. When you notice a drop in O2 sensor voltage, or a rapid increase in EGT, you have reached the limits of your computer's capabilities. You will need to add more fuel.
Reminds one time of guy who claimed he could adjust the timing on a car by ear.

Good job man, you just prooved the immaturity of people here. If you had a turbo you might actually know you can't get those parts from home depot and it's about 25 to put one together. what kind of car do you own again...how about we stop whining about the "4 banger" that can beat you and just drop it. I'm very glad you threw your $0.02 in there but it wasn't even worth that.

You keep proving your ignorance. Just when I say to shut up and drop it you prove once again how childish you are. Grow the **** up. If you want to bitch, bitch to your parent's. That's what they are there for.

actualy my friend scans his 92 lx with a setup he got from a pawn shop, it is what ford use to use. It uses a volt guage and a bread board to read the different voltages in the car. It is much easier to use than trying to find a dyno, hell i have to drive 200 miles to get to one from here. He was also right about the o2 voltages fluctuating at idle, i think they call it closed loop. its safe to do on the freeway just have a passenger to watch the guage, plus the kits usualy comes with a booklet about voltages and their relation to timing. I think he picked up the board for about 20 bucks and he already had the volt guage. Last time i checked i dont think gm or ford ran their cars on dynos to check the a/f ratio, they always use a volt guage.

And if you are living in a world where you think imports are all 16 second slugs than your need to come back down to reality. i thought the same till i got smoked by an awd eclipse. The guy claimed mid 11's i luaghed so he showed me by a few bus lengths.
