This was my overall point, I guess. Whenever I think about avenging by defeat at the hands of the brubstick, first I think "that will end up costing ten grand," then I think "for what, more smoke?"

I should have prefaced that the car is a bit much one the old ass rock tires on it. When I put new tires on it that actually grip, it's might be 5/7

If I had an LS3 car like you do, I'd probably just do long tubes and dyno tune and call it a day. That should put it nearly where my car is at, with much less effort, cost, and drivability concerns. The factory clutch would survive, so you wouldn't need to go nuts there either. Plus, you have more tire to put the power down.

Or he could enjoy the car stock since he doesn’t need any more power anyways ?!
GS is a pretty fun package just about as much power as you can possibly have to put through 2 wheels

The Jeep will show up. And they'll be happy to sell it to you with a $15k markup.

At this point nothing will be surprising

Friends don't let friends drive stock.

I would love to. But not only am I a communist, I live in a communist state. CARB says balls deep or GTFO.

Apparently you just need to start hanging out with 20 year olds that drive Civics. Smog is no problem if you know the right guy and have a couple ben franklins.....

I think a better idea would be just leaving the fucking state, but I don't have to sell that to you......

I'm all fine with talking with my nephew and getting his perspective on things, but I'm not about to hang out with a bunch of kids to be able to run LT headers.

When I took my car to get tuned, the guy threw my car on the lift to put the wideband O2 sensor in. He saw that cats and said "this car from out of state?" I said no... he went on "huh, why the fuck did you put cats on it? I haven't seen aftermarket cats on a Michigan car ever".

I guess helping the environment is in much of the country. I love the freedumb, but also don't like the raw gas/rotten egg smell that cats eliminate.

I'd like to see quantitative data analysis proving that long tube headers with high flow cats increase emissions.

There's nothing wrong with high flow cats. They serve a purpose, yes? We can't have everybody in some metro area running around catless on the highways causing birth defects in the name of moar whp.

As much as I hate to say it but California needs the strict air laws. We're breeding like cockroaches... 41 million strong... driving more on average than the rest of the world. And we have serious smog issues.... even with clean cars. It is Ppl are a plague

[troyguitar]

One policy would do more to reduce emissions.

Meanwhile, at the dillership:

Green gets a Jeep order...

[Melon]

In all honesty, the car is too much. If I knew then what I know now, I would have picked a smaller cam that sacrificed the explosive top end for more low end. Better, I probably would have just kept it stock to maintain some resale value and waited for Sebring Orange C7GS's to get reasonable. Oh well.

Should have kept it stock with gears and sticky tars.

Also, +1 for C7 GS, let those prices fall.

And keeping the illegals out... that's who is having kids in this state...
California Percent
African American/Black 5.2%
American Indian/Alaska Native 0.4%
Asian/Pacific Islander 14.2%
Hispanic/Latina 48.2%
White 27.8%
Multiracial 2.3%
Unknown 2.0%

28% white.... 48% well yay...
48% of the fucking kids made by 32% of the population . This state will be quite different in 15-20 years.

Their greed will have them pumping the market full of 's and there are already plenty on the roads, and only more to come... the JK is the most successful Jeep Wrangler ever made... so it'll be interesting to see where the prices go, they certainly won't go UP.

Yea, oh well. It was a fun thing to do, and the car is a riot, so whatever.

I'm pretty interested in testing your car once it has tarz on it. We'll have to get out to an autox or something one of these days.

Agreed. This summer will be a good one for performance driving.
