Where is everyone at? Is everyone getting drunk as a dog? Isn't that what Memorial day weekend all about? (I'm prior military, so no insults, I DO KNOW what it's all about...)

Fine, fine, so here's some Qs for you.

Where can a I get an official Porsche Turbo Sticker, because the 1GDSM sticker only added 12.57HP at the wheels. I heard that German stuff gives more power (at least 47.6 RWHP).

If I get a DC->AC power inverter and I carry a refridgerator in my trunk, can I replace my intercooler with that? How much Horsepower can I expect to gain? If I use a No-Freon refridgerator, does my car become a "Green" car?

I want to know where I can find one of those old school porsche jackets that are Nylon, with the white lettering "porsche" going down both side of your arms. Some of you old school folks will know wht I'm talkign about......:P damn, has it been that long.

--DISCLAIMER--- None of the info below should be followed, except the payment part, unless you have an IQ of 2 and still find the brain cells to breath some how... Bless your soul... now inhale...

To answer your questions Guy, while it is a documented, yet little known secret, that German stuff does indeed add more power, the real balls to the wall increases come from Italy, you know the home of the Ferrari... The reason for these power gains are quite simple. The parts are "exotic" and are therefore taxed at a higher rate when they enter our country. The equation is real simple and breaks down this way:

-- Cost of Part has a direct correlation to Quality
-- Quality of part has direct correlation to Total HP Output
-- Therefore the more you spend on a part directly increases your total HP!!!
-- This Rule, not a theory, translates to other parts as well..

A good example of this would be Front Strut Bars... While they can be had for under $50 for our cars nowadays, why not get all you can get with a $250 strutbar? The more expensive part is OBVIOUSLY a better quality part, therefore MUST give you a more rigid body structure, causing more power to transfer to the wheels instead of to body flex...

Also, back to the stickers, the size and placement has a bigger impact on total HP than the origin... Everyone knows that a 7" tall winshield sticker depicting an ASIAN symbol or Car Club name on the TOP and BOTTOM (leaving only 3" to effectively look thru your windshield) offer as much as 50+ horsepower. But take a NEUSPEED sticker on the rear quarter panel of the 5x7" variety and you have only added 20hp. You should also balance your placement of stickers to allow equal distribustion of hp between front and rear wheels, even if you have a FWD...

The ac/dc adapter with refridgerator has been proven beneficial ONLY in high HP applications (i.e. car covered with stickers and with wicked floor mats). You can only realize the tru potential when boosting above 45psi running on 87 octane gas and a lean A/F ratio... Expect an increase of 186 hp on each cylinder...

I plan on running this setup on a street bike with twin turbos and a 175 shot of NOS next season... just need to win the lottery and find someone who has built a full 5 point rollcage for a streetbike...

You asked, "If I use a No-Freon refridgerator, does my car become a 'Green' car?" The answer is yes. No one cares how many hydrocarbons and unburnt fuel you are spitting out of your gutted catback exhaust with 10" polished tip (you do follow this standard in the import community, right? If not, you betta rekanize fewl!!!) as long as your car is "freon" free. I personally like the extra UV rays so when I start to run the "juice", I plan on creating my own NOS mixture, half NOS and half freon, but for offroad use only (disclaimer)...

Now that I feel I have successfully edumacated all you peeps out there, you can remit payment in full ($89.99 plus book fees) to the "Buy Don a Built Motor" fund care of Bank of America...

Wow, You really were bored, huh? :-)

So, Italian stickers eh? That would explain my wheelspin too. All my stickers are on the BACK of the car making my front end too light. I'll move them towards the front of the car, and this time, I'll make sure that I compensate for the extra weight on the drivers side - I'm moving the refidgerator over to the passenger's seat.
