This is more Gee Wizz curiosity...as I have zero interest in a blower anytime in the near future.
For those of us in CA, are you stuck with the "canned" blower tune to pass/stay CARB/SMOG legal?
The wife and I have 3 vehicles and no kids (at the moment). We currently have her 03 Tundra, my 11 Tacoma and our 16 Mustang GT. We intend to replace the Tundra later this year with a family sedan, as kid will be on the way by the end of the year. No need for 2 pickup trucks and the Tundra has...
Public Affairs approval? Cant answer that one.
2 years ago we had the MythBusters crew out filming an episode, and there have been plenty of other media outlets that have covered it over the years. The U-2 has not been a classified Aircraft for many decades.
I believe ill be taking the plunge soon....parts just sitting in the garage.

Same boat, never really gave a crap about Mustangs or Fords, sure always liked the 60s cars, but never thought id one any Mustang especially a newer one. Been wanting a fast car since I could drive (15 years ago), but never was in a position to purchase one till last year. Before 2015 I always...
I am just trying to determine if this is a rare thing exaggerated by a few loud voices or commonly happening to the majority (PP2). Also if PP2 is in fact problematic (50%+ having issues), is PP1 problematic too? The poll numbers indicate everything is fine for the most part, but the posts tell...
Could that be because autos are less likely to let the engine lug or run high load/low RPM which can lead to pinging/knock even in a 100% stocker (hasn't happened to me...can mash the gas at 1000rpm in 3rd and it just pulls, but then again I have a PP car with 3.73s, I imagine doing the same in...
Yeah I saw, that but I suspect a number of people have installed, and initially gotten excited about the extra power (voted positive) but later noticed ping/knock?
