i just love oil threads......

"Anyone putting in oil aditive or synthetic motor oil to
try and squeeze a couple extra horses is a lunitic."

why? because you do not understand it?

"have you ever seen that little computer box in your engine compartment?
what do you suppose it does?"

yeah, mine's kinda' hacked: a 1995 ecu in a 1997 car, controlled by a dell
laptop and dsm-link software but it's not in the engine compartment and it
has nothing to do with oil........

"if you increase the engine weight or decrease it , the computer is going to
compensate for it."

total nonsense! i have an aluminum flywheel, aluminum underdrive pulley and
have both balance shafts removed (20 pounds or so lighter than stock.) and
the ecu couldn't give a rat's ass.
what sensor reports engine weight to the ecu? i don't believe this is an
obdII function.

"I also used to work at a stereo shop, and we had customers wo had
convinced
themselvs
that this moster cable speaker wire sounded so much better than regular
wire.
the truth is there is no difference.
But since these customes had just laid out $200.00 for copper wire, of
course thier
little brains told them it sounded better.
i suspect the same type of self-pyscho-hypnosis is happening here."

that's because monster sucks...try cardas, straightwire or audioquest for
better results.

techie you are not.......
