I thought it would be interesting to know what gearhead folk lore is floating around out there that has been proven NOT always true, yet people still try to pass the info as fact!!!
lets start with this..... Bigger cubic inch equals faster E.T's -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
------------------------------------------------------- Double Decker spoilers are uber ricerlicious!!!!  |

VTEC isn't something you can give an engine, its a system that switches from one cam lobe to bigger cam lobes. I'm getting rid of VTEC with my new setup. Just some big narly lobes all the time. When you never drop below 6K rpm, its pointless.
The more air and the faster you burn it = more power. As displacement (or amount of air you cram in the cyliner via turbo) increases, so does power. As rpm increases, so does power. As long as you have the components to go along with it though. -------------------- |
