some of you are bitchen blah blah hp is better than high rev
some of you are bitchen blah blah torque is what you need cause high rev is a waste of time
others are stating power band is where you want to be high rev or not
others are stating some power bands are in high revs
and others are stating imports are gay and high reving is for fags

well the reason why i stated it is
1 my power band is from 5800-8200 at a redlin of 8600 at an 1100 idle
2 dual sidedraft webers are music to my ears at 7500+ rpm
3 most peoples' blocks can't rev that high without engine blow/fail

that is all

i have 140whp and damnit i use it to its full potential which is above 5800rpm

so all you domestic guys can hate and call ricer or whatever

but wtf

i have a 1500lb car with a 1600cc block with dual weber 40mm carbs 4-1 header with straight pipe all the way back, wiseco forged pistons, port and polish with 3angle valve job, msd 6al,msd ss blaster, msd wires, oem distributor, holley fuel pressure regulator, $2500 suspension setup (t3,trd,kyb agx), with a 4.3 gear ratio on a welded rear end, sparco/zfever/grant interior, along with other misc. money wasters

i love my car

its my baby

and i make sure i run it the way it is supposed to be run, just like you domestic guys run yours

i have no wing i have no fart can i have no 18 inch wheels with crazy body stylings

its an iron heart powered ugly box and i love it


so hate on it if you want but i know what im doin, just as you know what your doing

Thats alot of money for a ae86... hope you think its worth it...

i got bored driving my ls1 very fast. That might be why i sold it after 6 months. I like cars that pull hard to the higher end of the redline scale. just like most f1 cars, gt3's, those f-word italian cars ect. I did love my ls1, but i would go from it to my crx and it like going from a fast suv to a way faster feeling race car(they were about equal in fastness). It's like driving an older 930 with the 4 spd. 50 in 1st, 92 in second?? no thanks, if i didnt want to shift i would buy an auto. ill take high revving over low revving, any day of the week. ?I do miss my camaro very much though
