While drawing the piston further down takes in more air and fuel, thus more torque, the stroke also acts as a lever arm. For example, an engine with a 2inch stroke will effectively have half the torque of a 4inch stroke engine if the combustion pressures are identical. But things get...

The easiest way to learn how everything works is to isolate things. Find out the theory behind different systems, like suspension or brakes. If you look at one system at a time, it is so much easier. Its easiest to start on brakes IMO

I was watching some of the WRC a couple of weeks ago, forget what country. But they said the driver and navigator can operate a mechanism, that, if I remember correctly, blocked the primary intake opening and let air bypass at some other location. Personally, I would go with a CAI. Also, a...

Ok so what are the advantages of the Torsen over standard LSD and any disadvantages?

There have been bad and good convertibles based on coupes. What are some cars that you think were bad conversions? IMO: bad-350z to 350z convertible good- Camaro to Camaro convertible

So everyone knows what a limited-slip diff is, but I'm curious: How does a limited-slip diff compare to a Torsen differential? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? I would love some feedback on this.

Vapour lock is pretty much just a problem on carb-ed engines. It happens when your gas gets too hot and evaporates, can be fixed by different fuel line locations or heat shields

Gas leaking past piston rings? Liquid gas leaking into intake manifold?

What about carb adjustment/choke adjustment? :blink1:Please correct me if I'm wrong, I have little experience with carb-ed engines. Just know that on a small engine(lawnmower) the choke has to be right for easy starting.

K&N air filters are really good for any vehicle

I would disagree.

The mid 70s Mustang. Not even a Mustang, its a piece of crap.

In a production car, the engine in the SSC Ultimate Aero. HP: 1183 to 1287 Torque: 1112 ft lbs On the SSC website it says 1287 hp. Everywhere else it says 1183hp, so I'm not sure. But it's a 6.2L Twin Turbo! OOOOOOOOO YEAHHHH!!!!:) According to the SSC website, it has a power to...

The one all the diehard Chevy fanboys use is usually Fix Or Repair Daily, even though most fords now are extremely reliable
