I am assuming by "extractor" you're using venturi effect to clear the cylinders? Not familiar with that term.
Out of curiosity, how are you getting 100 octane any more? Must be blood to run that car. Were the dyno readings at the 18 degree timing?
What's the gearing? Are you gearing for top end or torque?
I assume the intakes are larger bore? How are you going to get the fuel flow to adjust without starving your mixture and overheating? Do you tune until you're on the edge of a lean misfire?
The fuel pump going to be upgraded to match? I would think it would be tough to change too many intakes without modding the fuel pump as well.....

You're running a cheapo ebay intake and a "who the hell cares" header. How do you know you don't need any backpressure? These parts obviously aren't matched, so what are your flow characteristics in and out of the cylinder?
What kind of lift, duration, and overlap are you running? Without knowing your flow rates, too much timing without enough back pressure is going to lower your effieciency.

But, we don't know anything right???? What an asswipe the GettoChicken is these days! He couldn't tune a Honda lawnmower. Now you expect him to actually use a flow-bench????

Flowbench? I wasn't expecting that much from him. Thought he might at least spit out some design numbers...oh wait, he'd have to go looked that up off of wiki first.

So what you are telling me is that you are never going to where that shirt.
NOTE: It's not because he'd beat you that you aint' gonna where the shirt.

are you a nerd that's dependent on specs?! obviously you haven't play with enough engines... they can be kind of finicky and each engine has its own characters. you have 2 motors built exactly the same way and the results are different. why?

That's IT, Frank! You are telling folks that you are supposedly an engine tuner, then you say, and I quote, "are you a nerd that's dependent on specs?! " Get the heck outta here. You are losing your mind! Ah, forget it, you will never understand the questions set before you any more than you'll understand your grasp of the English language. Take or leave it -- HWFMR didn't call me the 'minister of defense' for nothing. You are so full of crap that your eyes are turning brown!
Sorry all -- even *I* get ticked off now and again. But you know -- it's ALL due to Frank's thought that I merelly am undergoing PMS. Yeah -- whatEVER. You're a dip job Frank. Freakin' teabaggrer-********.

Sounds like AckMe Engineering does all it's engineering/blueprinting in crayons or finger paints.

Hackmee Engineering can't be held back by trivial things like specs. After install of a Vornado and a cool collar there will be no holding back.
I did find a new tranny engineered by them though. Here is the **** for it.

Jerry, while that look odd at first, it is just because you haven't plays with enouf transmassions, so are clue less. If you knew about the new Crapmee Enginearing short-shrift kit it hases, you would know how good they works.
4-2-1 headers on a 4 cyl engine? What a dumb sh*t!
