Thats how mine was. When it was 340rwhp n/a and setup for autox/daily driving it never broke. Then switch over to a high cr, high rpm na monster it was always breaking something. Mostly suspension parts. I did grenade one mexican block tho.

Yeah, add stuff to the fuel, or to the vehicle, that counters itself out by reducing fuel economy. Works wonders.

Not today about a week ago. Had a misfire on #4 plug. Mechanic could not get it out was rusted in due to previous owner lack of care. So I took it to one that I heard can get out stuck plugs. It had sat for two years as a result. He could not get it started. Needed new fuel pump had a clogged fuel filter, tank straps were rusted out. Talked to mechanic he told me he could not get out the plug, but wanted to try something else first as I told him to pull the head. He got it out. So new plugs, plug wires, serpentine belt, oil filter and oil change, wipers and new tires.

What's more retarded is what they do to diesels.

I wasn't aware of the performance aspect. Hmm. Learn something new every day.

it's funny, doesn't that basically just counter what they were trying to accomplish, that being be better for the environment? they choke them down so bad that they use more fuel, but oh, they don't smoke, but they use more fuel doing so. therefore putting more stuff into the air.
