What r your opinions on this product? I know it's from SR, and IMO it's a load of shite, but I was having a look over at the dark side and when I saw this I had to let you guys know about this must have mod. IMO it must add at least 20whp.

just fyi, you can get this from like jcwhitney.com or some shyt like that. maybe even apc, and i think it's a lot less. thats like opening a window in your house and leaving the blinds half open to "funnel" the air in. garbage

Hmmmm interesting idea, not sure how much of a difference that would make in oil temps though. Sort of like a heatsink for your oil filter I guess. Hamhead where you get that it is finned plastic? It says it's aluminum.

especially when you consider WHERE the oilfilter is located. It is up out of the airflow and next to the exhaust system. Looks more like an oil heater than a cooler.

Why does everyone keep saying rice like it's a bad thing?



I like this quote from the SR website.
QUOTE (Shark Racing Website)
Please note that we do not keep large quantities in stock as we want our customers to get fresh items.


Uh, yeah. FRESH RICE sure beats STALE RICE. lol.gif

Yes it's best to get fresh rice, but by the time SR sends it to you it's sure to be stale.
