Re: What kind of car do you drive??

Hrm...

Ok - time for me to inject some more info in here...

1. When going fast is your business - you drop your suspension. Better handling/less sway/ect. Lifting is meant for OFF-ROAD only. The more you lift, the more you are a brick in the wind, able to have body sway, and have worse handling.

2. It's physically impossible for an engine to have "7 Turbos" and keep stock internals. You can run a supercharger or turbocharger (ONE) at around 5-7 psi on a lower-compression engine with premium - but anything more WILL REQUIRE MORE WORK. The most an engine can have is 5 forced inductions. Needs to be in a "V" configuration, and have quad-turbo (Twin turbo on each side of the engine - 4 intakes right there) and one supercharger on top. Anything more will be useless/bog the motor down (and a HUGE waste of money.)

350's are strong - but not bullet-proof. I've seen a lot of the Vortech 4.3 V-6/5.7 V-8 have problems with their upper and lower intake gaskets. They rupture causing a bad leak of coolant, but GM is known for this...(3.1, 3.4, 3.8, ect... )

3. Every vehicle out there has anti-sway bars. They are called "Sway Bars" and help to stop the roll of the body. If you off-road you disconnect these so you can get better 'flex' out of your suspension.

So all n' all - I don't want to start any wars here or make enemies - just pointing out fact from fiction!

Wetzel, what year Vette? An older version proally' has the LT5 in it...(I would give my left leg for that engine) All aluminium, DOHC engine. Holds *10* quarts of oil w/ oil filter. Very Bad-Butt engine.

Stina - about your Century, there are versions that have a 3800 Series (3.8L) supercharged - so Buick can come up and suprise ya. Got the 3.8 under the hood? If you don't have the supercharged one and you want to under-take a project for after the build seasion I think you should swap in the Supercharged one!

Chrysler does have some vehicles in fleet - but they have not been modified in any way for the engine. Same stock power as what you can buy off the dealer showroom. That's why Chrysler hasn't seen anything latley - just have nothing to offer...

I think that's enough for now...
