What I find interesting is the hysteria and prejudice over modding the combustion process in any minor way on this forum...where if you would move to some "fast and furious" forum...they are redoing EVERYTHING from cold air intakes...heads...complete fuel management systems (Megasquirt)...exhaust...basically redoing from scratch. And I've heard mention of very high mpg figures from some that have done this kind of thing when on highway trips.
Also the issue of ridiculing LaPointe....where in my opinion he hit the nail on the head. He was getting high mpgs with his vehicles to the point that he mentioned that cats were essentially not needed...but he ran with no ethanol gas and various mods such as EFIEs...fuel heat...fuel additives...etc. ALL of which could have been put in place
years ago by car makers/oil companies.
But what did we really get?
Big SUVs and oil wars.
