that was not me again this time it was you. i simply said that you and gary use the percentages in a misleading manor and the only thing that really matters is what each filter lets in relative to the total volume of dirt if youre so damned concerned about what each filter lets in relative to the total volume of dirt then why do you deny that the k$n lets in 50% more than the oem remember bonehead 3% / 2% = 150% .

actually a lever creates torque but dont tell max. he might freak out and claim that it simply reconfigures it. you really do want another ass-kicking dont you please tell us how a simple lever with no outside influences can create torque go ahead braniac impress us .

thats incorrect. a transmission can increase torque. for example a hypothetical transmission could take 50 ft-lbs of torque on input and produce 300 ft lbs of torque. numbers are arbitrary. no laws of physics are violated by increasing torque on output. no laws of physics are violated because it didnt increase the torque it merely changed its configuration. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. on thu 23 jun 2005 005539 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote so is your claim that a transmission cannot produce torque. it cant create it but it can produce it. nope. it cannot produce torque anymore than it can create it. it can however transmit it. hence the name transmission. thats incorrect. a transmission can increase torque. for example a hypothetical transmission could take 50 ft-lbs of torque on input and produce 300 ft lbs of torque. numbers are arbitrary. no laws of physics are violated by increasing torque on output. btw i think roget can help you with your problem understanding create and produce as being pretty much the same in the context which you used them. -- .

how hard are you driving it -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i just bought a 2005 power wagon 2500. i have only driven it 200 km on the highway now since i got it a few days ago and the computer says i am getting 11.8 mpg. this sounds really bad. my window sticker did not show an epa rating and when i called the dealer they just said that it will get the same as the 1500 with hemi with to me sounds like a quit bullshit answer. anybody else out there driving a 2500 ram with hemi that can tell me what kind of city/hwy gas mileage i can expect i imagine that the gas mileage will increase after break in period of the truck right i am also planning on towing a 5500 lb dry travel trailer across country with it and was hoping for 10 mpg with that but if it is 11.8 mpg with no load i am concerned ! .
