hell i saw a recent post in an oil thread where a guy told another guy to make sure and flush his oil system with water before adding the new oil.....he didnt get a bad tech badge, and that **** will actually ruin your engine, unlike 100 octane leaded mucking up some o2 sensors

Yeah, flush with water.. I watched my stepfather put half a cup of bleach in his Durango last week and run it for 5-10 minutes before draining the oil!! He says "watch this son I'll teach ya something.." LOL What? - I could smell the bleach when he drained it. Wow, some people are amazing..

After only running a 13.9 at the track, i looked for ways to go faster, but without breaking the bank. When i read 99blackponygt's post, i went out and used up ALL my gas, only to go and fill it with some 100 OCTANE LEADED (WOOOOO!!!) Since i was using 93 octane and made the switch to 100, i figured i would get 5hp per octane level bumped up, just as stated in the post from 99blackponyGT.
100-93 = 7 octane levels
7x5hp = 35 hp
Since i now had an extra 35hp under my hood, i was not only hoping to break the 300rwhp mark, but also hit a 13.5 or better...
So i went to the track with my new gas and boasted about it to all the track guyz...They did some lawlzing and then we parted ways. I went in line to go down the track and when it came my turn, i ran a 14.1.
99blackponyGT, thanks to you, i wasted my money on gas that ended up doing me no good. I should have listened to all the other guys and the evidence and all the mockery, but i thought that since you've been a member for a long time, i would listen to you...Thanks for nothing. I now need to cyphen out my gas before something bad happens...
oh and i've been on this forum for a long time and still don't know how to use the smileys either =P i dont have an icon for all the smileys
how do you do the one with the tongue sticking out

use the colon and a lowercase "p". we need to have a thread about the usage of smileys so we can find the codes and stuff to actually use the right ones on here like the thumbs up one and stuff like that.
