I put a throttle body spacer in that gives the car a super venturi effect which gives me like 3 lbs of boost. If you think about it it makes lots of cents.

The Venturi effect is cumulative, not additive, so
3x3=9.
Unless you're Giambri. Then it's
"3 for you", and
"3 for you" and
9 for me.

I agree. Both my '8 Corvettes and my previous '12 BOSS 302 are a lot faster and a lot quicker than my '8 Z.

I would totally buy a Crown Vic. Much faster than the Z. And it attracts looks from all the chicks, especially in the trailer parks.
