Yeah the source was just some forum.... the other quote seemed more credible becuase for sure, under load even though the RPMs might be the same Id assume the car is running richer. Although I will say I noticed in my car at least in Neutral the RPMs do go up slightly, so I can understand why...

Yes they do, IS-F; 5L v8, 300kw, 475Nm & 8 speed direct shift transmission. Its prity decent looking (and expensive): Although it isnt out yet... very soon to be released. As for pushrod argument, I thought it was clear I was talking in general... its old technology. To put it...

Its subjective though, 'runs better'.... alot of people think their cars are running better when they make changes! The problem also with a POD is that they are meant to be better flowing, this occurs via LESS FILTRATION. SO the gains aernt great in most cases while your filter doesnt do its job...

I dont think POD restrict air flow.... but: 1. In modern vehicles the intakes are already designed very well, for example the intake on the Aurion sucks down the most air of any 3.5L V6 in the world (It has a snorkel from the airbox straight to the bonnet) 2. The gains on smaller engines is...

I wouldnt say its a great achievement getting more power out of a smaller engine... they are still behind the competition, although yes when you look at it the Falcon is prity bad less power then Aurion with 500Ml more... but it is OHC afterall not DOHC (prity sure). Anyway things are changing...

^ Im not extremely knowledgable about auto transmission, but googling, here are some things ive read; "What hasnt been said is that leaving the auto in drive actually saves fuel. The strain on the engine slows it ! Fuel usage is related to RPM's and so going slower means it sucks less air...

But there not efficient, thats the point. Look at the typical Ford vs Holden debate, the FPV V8 gets 290kw with 5.4L while the HSV gets 307kw with 6L (both have same torque)... so that small of a difference given 6 mils difference in displacement, because one is a better technology! Mind you its...

Yeah very hard to believe, in power to weight ratio terms (considering your power CLAIMS and weight) your car is waaaaaay off being able to do the 100 that quick... let alone the fact that those mods dont add that much, especially without a tune.

I know all that stuff... but they are inefficient engines which need loads of displacement to get their power. You get a more sophisticated DOHC cam engine with same displacement and you get alot more power, example is the Lexus 5L V8 which has 300kw. 1L less (which is alot), more power... and...

Ah yeah inline six... well their history means nothing to me, fact is they are U.S now and worse yet they are our leading importer of rebranded Daewoos. Like the Barina was a disgrace on Holden, its a popular car among younger drivers who have a higher chance of crashing... and they sell that 2...

^ Yeah Im the same... Im more Toyota overall but in V8s Im a Ford man (Both in the races and in real life... they have DOHC > Pushrod engines). The part that gets me is that yes they are both American but at least Ford like most if not all companies keeps the same name across countries...

Yeah, the thing is I have seen the other Harry Potter films and even I couldnt fully understand bits... it was all over the place and required a detailed knowledge of the books etc. Exactly... couldnt have said it any better. It was more laying down the foundations for the next installation...

Lol I havent seen it yet, but just look at Holdens previous adverts: * Providing all these quotes about the Holden Calais, the most laughable being that its better then a BMW. Finished off with a Kookaburra, trying to make them look Aussie (SORRY HOLDEN IS GENERAL MOTORS = USA) * Viva where...

I thought it was CRAP. With no biased goggles on that some people seem to have, as a film it didnt seem very well contructed and as something to watch it was ordinary, more building onto the next installation rather then providing some reasonable entertainment this time round for my hard earnt...

Yeah ummm also its not UWS's job to research your job prospects from a degree, they offer it, you should do some research before hand. My brother had a similar problem you have (threadstarter) in regards to all jobs wanting experience, he did Human Resource Management at Tafe and all jobs wanted...

^ Its not THAT hard, Im in my final semester now, I just got my results back for this semester and I got all C's putting in minimal effort.... and they were all level 3 units. As for CPA/CA, it would be STUPID to do the degree without the electives you have to for these qualitifications...

Lol I remember reading about this, I find it hard to believe it does anything... the RPM stays exactly the same in neutral or drive so how can it be using less fuel!?!?

Yeah I agree... personally I might push it alittle around corners (in areas I know very well) or accelerate in a straight line hard every now and then but cant say I go to the extent that the advert depicts and people that do are tools fishtailing and burning rubber (mainly cos its costing them...

^ To me screeching wheels for example does not mean they cant control their car, the opposite provided they dont lose it... shows they know the limit of their car and pushed it far enough but not beyond. Exactly... and if you wanna agree with the advert (I dont) at least those portrayals...

^ Lol yeah and I think your estimates are generous!: POD FIlter - 0kw Gain (They have been proven to be prity useless, minor gains in huge engines which suck more air in as a result amplifying gains. What they do achieve is less filtration = dirtier oil) Cold Air Intake - 2kw Gain (Again...
