Default Speed Channel freaks

they are doing a mugen rsx on this show called SportsCar Revolution, and they are about to test drive a ITR. doing a lot of honda/acura stuff on this show, plus they are going to show a new ferrari and some high power corolla

edit: nm the test drive was stupid, all they did was talk about how the type r is so great, and then showed on a dyno how this crank case fluid added 5% hp to the wheels. but the other stuff is ok

Crank case fluid 5%hp to the wheels?

Shiiat. Must be some thin stuff, only way that shit would increase HP is to cut down on internal friction.

ah. i dont watch speed channel religiously because the only time i really see any import stuff is on tuesday nights - tuner transformation, NOPI vision, - and a few other stuff like when they test drive cars not released or do specials on old muscle cars. but i just happened to come upon that show. i kinda like it. other then the fact they are rebuilding a kia for track racing.

yeah thats what they said, it lowers friction on the pistons, and by decreasing the overall heat when running. they did 3 dyno tests on a ford f150 before they added it then did 1 after adding it. he gained like 9.2 hp after they put it in. i dont think i would trust it though, i dont even like putting that stp addative stuff in my gas tank "Octane Booster"
