no back pressure (no restriction) means higher top end, also...race gas = a lil more power

Race gas is unecessary unless you have a built motor that needs it.

how much did you spend for gas?

you are losing HP w/ the race gas, trust me, I lost a few tenths at the track. Don't even bother w/ it, it will make you slower.

And i've ran open headers a few times, sounds tits

dude, what octane gas are you running? YOU SHUOLD NOT BE RUNNING ANYTHING OVER 100, and 100 doesn't smell. Sounds liek you are running 110 or C12. That is a HUGE HUGE NO NO!

you are seriously gonna fuck your shit up if that's what you are running.

I have no 4th gear and my reverse is slipping, wtf...it happened just now while i was driving normally......and i was using 100 octane, nothing more...they sell it at our gas station, hehe....yea, i had no low end power, it sucked....but you better believe that shit can fly on the freeway, damn....that was bad, i was hitting 130 easily without it being sluggish as usually....that was fun, but it seems like i'm not putting my exhaust back on till tomorrow cause itz mothers day and we're a bit busy....his isnt good, i work next to the police station.....and since my 4th gar dont work, i'm gonna be stuck using 3rd the whole way.....Duece i called you up at 1:30...thatz when we finally head out there....took us forever to gather ourselves up.....I beat thersx type S by half a car, he has AEM V2, exhaust, headers, straight pipe, and vtec controller.....he usually pulls on me in third, but didnt this tiime, hehe....

if u run open headers u WILL lose power. also u probly will burn out a valve or two or all. no back pressure is ONLY good for those with trubos. to me its not worth the risk of an engine. goo luck tho. i hate rsx-s 's

you hit 130 w/ no 4th gear

and dude, TRUST ME, you aren't gaining any power from 100 octane. If you don't believe me go hit up a dyno

haha, naaw, i hit 130 with 4th gear...k, maybe i should be more clear...i raced sat night when everything was okay....but today was when my 4th was slipping (sunday)....anywayz....everything is back to normal, reset the ecu to turn off the check engine light, and had my fun...hehe...it was nice to have a car that brought a lot of attention to it....now i really gotta get my old car back....and clpower, ura i did feel a major power loss at low rpm's, all the way prob up to like 75ish...but on the freeway it did run nicer than usual......well, thanks for all the input guys....and just wanted to let you guys know what i was up to, hehe.....take easy peeps....

i think we gonna start hitting up the tracks now....i'll prob do all this again, and post track times, to show everyone how much you can lose/gain from doing random shit...i think that be fun to experience with......
