This is also printed in the FASS thread, but I thought it would be a good stand alone thread as well...
I just watched the Two Guys Garage show on the lift pump.. What a hype on several issues.
1. They first ran the truck with a 5-inch exhaust, but no before hp-tq numbers were given with the stock exhaust. That goof ball Sam Mememlo claimed that the early torque peak was directly due to the exhaust system, but how about a pretest 'duh' so we can see really if the 5-incher does in fact do what you claim it does.
2. They installed the FASS, but again, no testing afterward to see any Hp Tq numbers. (ah, Memo to Sam, again, how about a post-test on your sponsors parts?)
3. They then installed the hypertech unit, but then gave the hp-tq numbers after the FASS installation and raved about how great the hypertech was. Ah gee guys, what actually did the FASS do prior to kicking up the hyperteck to a 75 hp level?
This show is lame in my opinion, not to mention a total advertising hype for their sponsors. Reminds me of both times my Camaro was cover and feature articles in Car Craft and Chevy High Performance a few years ago. When they wrote the articles, both times they insisted to write about parts installed in my car that didn’t exist (I didn’t have a accel distributor, nor Crane lifters, nor used valvoline oil, nor Richmond Gears, etc).
I was really disappointed in the show tonight, it was almost like watching a infomercial on the parts that they installed… good grief what a bunch of goofy guys.
