gary since no one else has given you serious info i will. i have nothing against hot rodding if done correctly. we do live in a different time now and the wifes tale once told that you cannot make serious hp with a cat is simply not in touch. there is a rub when you are done the vehicle must pass the 4 gas analyser test. so you dont remove the o sensors they are necessary for the computer to work. headers and dual exhaust with dual converters work fine. be very careful with cams. long duration cams will not pass. high lift fast ramp cams will pass. watch your valve centers. cams with valve centers lower than 108 degrees wont pass. crank driven superchargers will pass. high compression pistons do not pass and you cant get good fuel 9.5 is street max and you may not pass the no test. 9.0 and you will. if you use dual converters dont use big ones they wont get hot enough to function. good luck steve 2000 ram 1500 5.9 auto headers k&n filter system computer chip mod i have headers that come into one cat then split out into dual flowmasters what needs to be done to the front or rear o2 sensor if the cat were removed gary .

heatwave wrote we can look at france and see how well socialist ideas have been playing out. non to well obviously. the uk is having trouble keeping up with the high cost of socialism. they are having to cut funding for free college in order to pay for free health care for instance. tax rates are already absurd in the uk so they have trouble hiking taxes further. no way do i want that kind of system here. neither do i but the level of greed form people like yourself will probably make it a reality in a few years. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

hey folks i own a 1984 dodge 150 royal se power wagon truck. it has a 360 4-barrel carb. recently i have noticed that on occasion when i hit a bump the radio will flicker off then back on. this intermittent annoyance has progressed into a fairly regular occurrence and now also includes the blower fan and headlights. lately it happens less when i hit a bump but more often and much more consistently when i am slowing down to make a stop or corner. as i live in northern alberta canada the winter sun sets at about 430 pm here and the headlights are a necessity to avoid the many deer on or near the highways. any suggestions on where to look. i have checked and cleaned as many of the major wire connectors as i can find to no avail. my battery seems fine and my belts are ok as well. i am wondering if it could be my alternator or voltage regulator. unfortunately i am truly lost with automotive electronics. layne .

tbone wrote call it what you want we still cant afford them and they have no good for average american. thats because you fail to realize that tax revenues skyrocketed after the cuts. raising tax rates is not the best way to raise revenue and in many cases does not raise revenue at all. a concept that baffles you. it doesnt baffle me miles it is just a load of shit. most of those tax revenue increases came from the tax amnesty that they were also offering and attributing the collections to the current tax years lol!. no it is the lack of competition and monopolies that determines the price of goods. when there is no competition it is real easy to set the price where they want it especially when it is a needed good. what particular monopoly or monopolies are you referring name some. microsoft for one but you seem to have forgotten the lack of competition and collusion. more typical right wing load of crap. sorry miles but the world is not black and white like your simple right wing mind seems to comprehend things. regualtions and limits can be put on some things and have it still a far cry from communism or anything like it. we already do but its not enough for you. its not just me miles but i guess the results from this election just went right over your head or perhaps you are just in a world of denile. you radical liberals continue to want more and more regulations price controls wage controls etc. now im a radical liberal lol! the funny thing is miles that those regulations price controls wage controls ect are what formed the middle class and made this country as great as it currently is. funny now that the extreme corrupt conservatives that controlled congress for so long have eliminated many of them the middle class is disappearing and the poor are worse of than ever. no but it should be enough for a small apartment some form of transportation and food provided it is a full time position. bull. jobs such as a walmart door greeter are either entry level starter jobs or supplemental jobs for retired folks. not career level jobs intended to pay a full living wage. ok what about the sales floor help or cashiers do you think that they are getting paid much more than that door greeter and what difference does it make if it is an entry level job i didnt say that they should get rich on them or buy a big house but if you cant live on what you make why do it at all -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
