Advice on setup.

I want 800 RWHP; full boost by 2K RPM's, but power all the way to 10K; cold air conditioning; stock like driveability; a quiet exhaust; low emmissions; and I want to spend as little possible.

Oh yeah, I also want a steady 750 RPM idle and bullet-proof reliability. Why isn't anyone helping me?

Buy a Honda Civic DX and put I/H/E on it. You'll have all you just asked for, plus get 30 mpg.

What about a fake intercooler? That should help me, right?

I think I'll get an extra air pump to get more air to the motor.

Don't forget to paint your calipers and drums so it stops faster.

You also might want to cut about 5 coils out of the springs so that high powered beast can turn better.

I'm hoping that some people start to realize how silly their posts look.

Probably not. ''More money than sense'' comes to mind...

Dont forget the windshield washer lights!..you want everybody to know to move over because your 800HP civic is coming!..lol

IF you want downforce just add those double decker aluminum spoilers!..Also known as lawnmower handles.

Those FRONT MOUNT INTAKE COOLER are a must!..you want plenty of air in your motor and not enough gas to push you to 800HP!..

BTW:

"Modular design allows low cost power growth

Uses proprietary design that allows additional rotor housings and rotors to be added with only a change in the length of assembly bolts. "

I was wondering why "The Ace" needed help on a setup.

Dude dont forget that exhaust tip that has a wheel in it that "spools up" to sound like a turbo or supercharger or something. It sounds bad *** and add back pressure which creates like 70 ft lbs of tq.....or so I hear!!!!

They sell them at Autozone along with the tail pipe that will shoot flames with some kind of igniter.

You HAVE to get that stuff if you want 800rwhp.

Also you'll need some good rubber for all that power, I hear Wal Mart is running a special on Generals. They are bad *** and cost effective. You should go get a set!!! I think you can get a 155/65/14 for like $25each

Ok man, now your going to far. if you want all that on pump gas your going to need a fuel additive. I suggest using some octain boost, they have tons of it at Walmart, just get the one with the highest rating.

Do they still give out a NOS coupon when you buy the fresh and the fruity?

I could use a rising rate fuel pressure reulator for fuel management.
