Horse Power

Hello all
I just heard about this website and decided to try it
I got a 2001 CL Type S with 260hp. Is it true that it can be increased to 300 or 360?
I would love some feedback. Thanks


2nd Q. I have a radar detector (Bel V940). Does anyone know how to connect the power source of it, to the rearview mirror?


Reza,

Like a lot of cars out there...the high hp potential is there (in spades with the CL since you start at 260hp). It all comes down to $$$. How much do you want to spend? A comptech supercharger will boost you 50+hp right there...at the wheels. Of course it is $4500. There will be a comptech icebox intake that will be released (?) in Feb that will give you 10-15hp at some rpm...plus a lot more bolt ons. Comptech stuff doesn't void Acura warranty so that is a nice bonus.

Welcome to the forum! Look around, there is a lot of info around here. Click on Tunersguide at the top of the screen for a start.

Thank blackmagiCL_S. I was basically looking to see if anyone knew about the pricing. $4500 is too much.

Thanks again

I got supercharger for your message, the rest it of just did not make sense to me, because I was looking for some real information with details.

No problem..

one day you will learn that people have humor in real life AND on the internet. my example above was called humor.

"and act like you are actually smarter than I am. Because you are not."

you act like you know me or something, but you actually don't know a damn thing about me. so guess what, assumption is the mother of all fuckups. don't ever say that you are "smarter" than a person that you do not know, especially with the questions you were asking above. i'd get that ego problem of yours checked out. take a reality check. good luck

i however am not stupid enough to say that i'm smarter than you because i don't know you, however, i think it's safe to say it.....don't you?

thanks

I did not say I was smarter than you. I just said dont act like you are smater than me.

As for everything else that you wrote, seems like you are the one who is assuming things. Just because I don't know about cars much, it does not mean anything. Four years of medical school, you kind of stop reading about anything but medicine until you finish it.

But, Like I said, "my bad". Lets just forget the whole thing..I did not come here to fight with anyone.

Hope you boys settle your dispute, yes it is possible and i have done it...im putting roughly 305 to wheels right now and probably 350 to the crank.....with the charger or the 3.5 upgrade i could potentially put 350 to the wheels, the only problem is whether or not the car can handle it...so far ive probably put $2500 worth of performance parts, with the 3.5 upgrade, it would total about $5000, which is about what you can look forward to....its possible

if i'm not smarter than you, as you say, then that would mean that you are smarter then me which obviously goes against what you JUST said above.

As for everything else that you wrote, seems like you are the one who is assuming things. Just because I don't know about cars much, it does not mean anything. Four years of medical school, you kind of stop reading about anything but medicine until you finish it.
i assumed nothing. you were acutally the one that brought up the fact that one of us is smarter than the other, not me. this shows that you have some kinda personal/ego problem or something or it's that you are still quite immature. whichever it may be, i feel really sorry for you. 4 years of medical school is impressive, and i'm happy for you. but still, you can never say that you are smarter than a person that you do not know. maybe they have schools to teach people things like this.

so anywho, i do hope you learn what humor is on the internet, because that is what i was displaying in my initial reply.

thanks

Good luck with that man.

I just can't affort all that right now. Someone told me you could get 40hp for $700, but he was not sure. That's why I decided to checkout the webpage.

how fast you wanna go?" I dont know, I just know it's fun, as long you are safe about it.

Thanks for all the help

I am not even gonna read your BS dude. I am sorry I heart your feeling so bad little boy. I suppose you have a complex about being smart or not.

In a couple of years as an anesthesiologist I be making $300000 per year as an average. When you make one third of that, come talk to me. Unfortunately that will never happen, unless you get your daddy to give to you.

Later, little boy, I am done for the night

ummmm no i don't have a complex about being smart or not.

look you immature anesthesiologist that will be making be making $300000 per year, you have no clue what i do for a living nor do you know anything about my schooling or anything else for that matter. the main reason you are getting more butthurt over all this is because YOU are completely in the wrong with everything you have said so far.

now, originally, your comment was "act like you are actually smarter than I am. Because you are not." which can be very easily proven wrong. here are a few examples of how "smart" you appear to be:
"I got a 2001 CL Type S with 260hp. Is it true that it can be increased to 300 or 360?" <--- pure genius. that sentence alone proves how truly "smart" you are.
"I did not say I was smarter than you. I just said dont act like you are smater than me. " ummmmm when did i "act" like i was smarter? oh wait, it's because you have NO idea what humor is and thusly got all butthurt over my humorous reply. was there ANY talk about "who is the smarter person" before this, no there wasn't. you brought it up with your comment ("act like you are actually smarter than I am. Because you are not.) which again, as i've said before, if i'm not smarter than you, as you say, then that would mean that you are smarter then me which obviously goes against what you JUST said above which was I did not say I was smarter than you. I just said dont act like you are smater than me. !!!!

so in one sentence you say that you are smarter than me (defined above), and in another sentence you totally go against what you said and are now denying the fact that you even said it at all! reeeeeeeeeaaaaal smart considering your background that you so promptly started bragging about in an attempt to make us "believe" that you truly are smarter than me because of the amount of money that you make.

and i really love this comment:
"When you make one third of that, come talk to me. Unfortunately that will never happen, unless you get your daddy to give to you."

oh man you have a fucking ego that won't quit. again, you don't know shit about me at all. you call me a "little boy" which actually is better suited for you considering the bragging/comment's you spew out. here is a little lesson about me that completely proves you wrong:
my daddy doesn't buy me anything. he hasn't been in my life since i was a child. i have raised my-self along side my mother who teaches me how to live on my own. i have been paying my OWN bills since i was in the 5th grade. when i was 10 years old, i was making $14 an hour working at a Alarm company splicing wires and installing alarm systems for many companies around the bay area. during and after high school, i was making 6 figures and i was still a teenager(by the way, 6 figures would be a "third" of what you'll be making per your comment above). i was doing alot of web design along with network maintenance on our server systems at work.
i buy alot of my own stuff, still, and as always, i pay all my own bills. sure my mother helps me out when i'm in a bad situation, but because of the way i've grown up, i have always dealt with my problems on my own. i am now 24 years old and my current car is my 4th car i've owned.

so, little man, why don't you use some of your money and go buy a reality check. think about what you have said in this entire thread which was mainly bragging about how smart you are, about what you do for a living, and how much money you will be making someday. take your foot out of your ass and promplty put it back into your mouth.

have a nice day you sad little ego maniac wanabe smartass

You arrogant ignorant prick. How do you know what he does or what he makes a year to justify making those comments? Your an idiot. *IF* you did go to medical school, you did it on daddys dollars. Or else you would have an easy $150k in loans to pay back. Do you have any friends? I can't imagine you keep them long with your shitty "I'm better than you attitude" You'd be suprised what some of us do/own for a living. Moron.


$300k a year? Sure your not in medical marijuana smoking school? (maybe in Hawaii that salary would fly) If you hadn't noticed there's a bit too many docotrs comming out of school at the moment. And salarys are dropping) And don't forget paying malpractice insurance which is a large portion of their income.

-------------

Unless you go with nitrous your cost is going to be > $4000.

However you can spend $1500-1800 on Tires, Zex (nitrous), Headers, Intake. And get your CLS into the 13's. If you don't mind used equipment you might be able to save some $$ on Ebay. This setup would be 360+ hp at the crank depending on the size of the nitrous shot.

Let it go guys....Reza was probably just posting dumb sh!t since he had to defend against a stupid post that he made (back pedal back pedal!). The $$ post shows that he he is just a bit immature since he is making assumptions about people he doesn't know (you can make millions and still be an @ss). Reza, you started with a genuine post, sorry that it got out of hand. Check the attitude at the door and move on. I (for one) am willing to overlook a few bad posts as long as it doesn't become a habit.

Thanks for your benign comments. If you read the thread you will see that I apologized to the guy 2 times. But he still refused it and tried to cut me down more. I wrote: my bad , lets forget the whole thing, I am not here to fight with anyone. So I responded accordingly. It was not aimed at all these other people who are taking offense to it.


Thanks again

Go check it out at salary.com moron

Im only in 75k debt, with is nothing.

Malpractice insurance is paid by the hospital you work out or by the group practice.

average doc make 230000 when you include all tghe benefits, Family docs make 140K, orthopedic surgeons make 350K, neurosurgeons make 850K, anesthesiologists, radiologyst make 300k, Pediatrics make 150.

so you see the income are not bad, we just like to bitch about it so it does not go any lower.

No my daddy did not pay for my education , I did, by very very hard work, and no one will take that away from me.


People like to justify that it is not a big deal to be a physician, because you will be in dept, and salaries are low. BS, go talk to some real docs , not entry level FP's.

Dont bother responding b/c, I won't read.

Another thing as a doctor you have to be somewhat arrogant, so that you have confidence in making diagnoses, and life & death situation.

Hey, I tried to give you another chance to just move on and YOU brought everything back up. Whatever. Get over yourself. For what it is worth I have a cousin that is an anesthesiologist and you are smoking some good stuff if you think that you are going to walk into a $300K job. Perhaps by the time you retire.

Oh, and you will read....we know you will. You just might not reply.

I cant believe im even gonna respond to this, but here goes...I dont make near as much as you are/will make, but eventually i might make it up there and i didnt go to medical school, but damn how did you pass your undergraduate classes with that grammar...then again you cant read most doctors writing so i guess it wont matter........one more thing, why you driving a CL if you want 360hp and are gonna make 300k/year? I mean i love my car and its what i can afford, which i think is a damn fine automobile.....enough of this crap, this should've been locked a long time ago, its turned into a bitching fight....good luck with your CL if you decide to get one.
