A lot of street ricer technology spanks the crap out of what the Germans are doing.

Default I have a bad O2 sensor, but it helped anyway. It had the same effect on my Z. Import Tuner still

scratches their head on how wires actually make power, but have been quoted as saying a dozen dynos they have done have repeated success. They had the dyno proven grounding points on their featured Z.

Maybe your gains were the result of installing the BPV correctly! ;-)

Default I saw a feature about an 800 HP twin turbo Toyota. Amazing stuff.

It's easy to dismiss the ricer stuff as being illegitimate, but the true enthusiasts are really building sophisticated engines.

Of course, 350 HP surging through the front wheels of a Civic will have certain limitations!
