Thread: Most horsepower per dollar!!!

  1. #21
    I just put some long tube Pacesetter headers on my truck, gas milage and horsepower went up...maybe I should put a ball valve in each primary to limit there flow and get some negative supercharging, heck maybe even a few blow off valves on the headers too?

    Wow,, this whole time i thought cold air was a good thing,, apparently i should ditch the intercooler on my dsm and add replace it with a hairdryer...

    seriously,,,, what crap,,,,
    heating elements for incoming air?
    I think i will add sharp points to my pistons, make detonation even easier..

    This site is hilarious!

    To prove their technology they give an example of blowing up a gas cylinder when it is hot vs when it is cold and concluding that the hot gas canister leaves a larger crater in the dirt! i can't stop laughing!

    Ben, you guys have been using that technology for a while now haven't you?? That's what Stretch led me to believe ;p

    Is that an SAE certified test?

    If it's not, it should be.

    You finally got those headers you were showing me last year? Nice! I was wondering what you were going to do with starting engineer's pay. Do you still have the fleet farm tires, though? lol. Now all you need is an LSD, a supercharger, and the formula slicks. That would be a kick ass time!

    Here's a good quote from the site:

    "As the exhaust valve opens, the high pressure gas forces itself through very small primary header pipes at twice the gas speed of a typical header. This produces a much lower pressure behind the higher gas flow in the small primary pipe of the header...The small primary pipe of the header does not restrict gas flow because the pipe is very short and gas is compressible under high pressure."

    Here's the hot setup, watch out for it in LeMans next year:

    -90 hp 1984 Caddillac HT4100 V8
    -Thermac air cleaner on computer-controlled Rochester dual jet carb
    -7.6:1 compression
    -Stock exhaust manifolds filled with JB Weld for more "good backpressure"
