HEAT, that has nowhere to go w/o some type of vent/scoop/etc 2.anything that forces compression into the engine, turbo or S/C creates even MORE compression, thats why those cars equipped with them have like 8:1 compression. 3. Also ABUSE w/o any R&D, thats scary Roger R SVT/SHO Society SE MI rep 2000 CSVT #1253 of 2150 silver frost/midnight blue 2-8" dark blue racing stripes Mequiars...simply the best!
