^^^was the exact cause for my ingenious response. Im really trying to be nice with all the repeat threads coming around these days, but its getting harder and harder to keep my fingers from typing something that will either get me banned or shot

Seriously, is it that difficult for the noobs to actually search? I havent had search results take any longer than 5 seconds, and maybe 5 minutes worth of reading to find my answers...so what seems to be the issue with the new members?

It gets annoying, but newbs are newbs, can't really change em until you introduce them to how a forum works. You can either help them out, or you can be hard on em...either way they'll learn eventually

When I join a forum, I first browse around, search for things I am interested in and get the general lay of the land. It is called surfing the web. Some people are still in the kiddy pool.

less then 50hp at the best of times, for more then that you will need hard parts. headers, cams, turbo/supercharger ect.

well there is another thread where they are saying the sc400 runs really super rich at wot, so if you like to do that alot a fuel controller could get you some extra power and save you some gas, but I think it will take intake exhaust and with the fuel controller you still wouldn't get 50hp, but it will feel alot quicker and more responsive.

I have a AEM fic. I guess that will be what I will put in next. I don't know much about engine management. Anyone know of a good place to read up on the topic?
