Re: [DML] Re: Upgrading the Air Filter




( Steve, he could have been talking about underdrive pullys which allow more HP to go to driving the wheels rather than accessories.  Moderator )


The speed/cost analogy reminded me of once at a car
show where I was showing my '68 Camaro, I overheard a
guy telling his girlfriend that the chrome pulleys
"made it go faster".  Not sure if he really believed
it or not, but it looked like she bought it.  Just
made me laugh.  Maybe we need some chrome pulleys for
the D's, then we wouldn't have to worry about all this
intake and exhaust rubbish.
