So, last night I watched the first half of "Fast 8". Hey, I figured there's a Charger in it, right? Before falling asleep, I was very impressed with the tech tips demonstrated in it that I hadn't known before. Can't wait to try them out! Such as:
- You can use Nitrous Oxide for extended periods of time in a road race (on a turbo car, no less)
- a small bottle of said NOx taken from your local dentists office and a rubber hose is all you need to make the above reality.
- pulling the vacuum advance off of the distributor will give you MEGA power
- engines can run fine while on fire
- cars run just as fast in reverse as forward
- you can save weight by removing both the battery and the alternator and the car will still run fine.
It made me wonder, what other amazing tech tips are in this series? I vaguely recall watching the first one many years ago, and am still looking for the elusive 18-speed auto tranny for mopars that was in that one....
Excited to watch the second half of the movie tonight! Going to be taking notes!
