Don't say anything to anyone else...let's make a deal.

I'll start 10 posts a day. I'll make it so you'll have to move 1 per day and close 1 per week. You split some of that money...2 cents per each post, $2 per moved post, and $4 per closed post.
In just a year you'll have made $1549.60 over what you currently make and I'll have an extra $972.40.

Just email me, we can work out something.

I have like noticed air going through my throttle body way fast or something. Any body else have this problem? It usually speeds up when I give it more gas. I hope nothing is wrong.......

I am thinking about marketing a billet throttle body bypass tube that will connect to my new Kale 100% backpressure exhaust "O" pipe.

I bet if I like engraved a lightning bolt on it, they would sell good.

Unhappy

when i was building my other truck, i came across a throttle body source everyone raved about. the creme de la creme was the teflon coated super street version with "mystery shaft". the teflon coating made the air zoom down the engine and the mystery shaft was explained as being removed from the inside to allow more air to get thru. the before and after dyno netted me zero hp and a slight torque loss. i never was able to visually find the "mystery shaft" on this 750.00 wonder, but i quickly figured out were it went, and i didn't feel like it was teflon coated either

You are not following the proper procedures for buying stuff. Where do you think you are posting, on the NLOC? This is F-150 online. You are supposed to say; "Cool, how much and when can you ship. Anybody interested in a group buy?"

Someone might kick your a$$ if you keep it up. My $.02.
