i am curious what the pumping loses really would account for though. if any of you have ever clocked dual cams incorrectly so that they overlapped too much and tried to start the engine, it cranks like the engine pistons aren't even there it just spins it up really fast. (yes i clocked my subaru cam...

Pumping losses aside, in the OE spectrum of things leaving valves open of deactivated cylinder does one big no no; pump unburned air into the exhaust. :scratch: All the OE systems leave the valves closed... Ya my wording was odd. I was just saying that besides pumping losses, OE's leave them closed...

Not only the way they vote but the way they act/react. The American worker is a pussy that is scared of American corporation and talk tough, but walk on each other's picket lines and advocate no socialized med care, even tho they desperately need it. The American worker is a hybrid between ignorant...

What pisses me off though is that the US seems to be more than happy to give up other--more important--constitutional rights (Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of movement, right to privacy, right against unreasonable search + seizure) with no complaints, but threaten to take away t...

codes should be the same - disconnecting the mat would definately cause the one code definately resent and try again. if it is infact getting a bad O2 signal you can try using the second set of wide band outputs to run the ecm instead of the stock narrowband sensor. the wideband outputs should all c...

Very cool, but doesn't stopping the valve from opening create a lot of drag on the engine? Wouldn't you want to hold the exhaust valve open during what would be the compression stroke? for least resistance yes you would not want the cylinder to generate any sizable amount of vacuum or pressure. eas...

McCaine is by no stretch of the word "moderate." Obama is by no sretch of the word "extremist." Kohburn, you're berating Ebs for focusing on partisanship, while doing exactly the same thing while forming your own judgements on the candidates. I fail to see any berating. look at ...

i only have one comment why are you so stuck on parties? politicians aren't so black and white as that, they are a lot more grey with a few extremist black and whites, but to get anything done the way the system is setup right now they pretty much have to lay claim to one of the two major ruling par...

"proof" is perception the same as "truth", and "fact" in the human mind.

yes there is most likely an absolute, but who can truly "prove" the perfect reality of absolute truth to an imperfect human consciousness?

Any point in which you'd be accelerating hard, you'd have good visibility of the road ahead, certainly enough to miss the object or stop before it. Unless you sit WOT through corners. you are obviously quite sheltered in the kind of roads you drive on. on the east coast about 80% of backroads are c...
